Miracles

They say that miracles are for Christmas.

Actually, miracles are for Jesus, and they can come at any time of year.

I witnessed one today, and yesterday.

Each week, the Spirit within me has led me to different churches.  The reason for last week's became clear yesterday as another was snatched from the pit.

Today, a different church, I witnessed one that will bring me to tears every time I think of it.  Where there was dry desert, there was a green tuft of life, a remembrance of a former fire, but the spark was visible.

God led me to the church for me this morning.  He had something to say that I had to do, and then showed me how faithfulness reaps rewards, when I saw a shadow out of the corner of my eye, giving me fresh hope for the future.

And oh yes, I have hope and new confidence.  Help us both die to our former selves, and blossom again.
