Miracles

Have you ever stopped to think about the wonders of the world, our better yet the ones in your life? We all pray for miracles and ask God for things such as love, peace on earth, restoring of health. How many of us look around in search of those miracles. If you are like me ,I tend to forget about the small things in my life the things that in the end were little miracles that passed me by. There are countless acts in the Bible that relate to miracles and tonight I was looking at little boy who had the chance to give everything for Jesus to feed so many. We don’t know too much about this little boy, he probably wasn’t rich, he lived in walking distance from the Sea of Galilee, and he gave up his lunch all he had of it to a stranger…talk about extreme giving. (For the full story check out the book of Matthew 14:14-21 or Mark 8:1-9.) To me this is such an awesome gift, giving something to so many, being able to serve through one miracle. I’m sure at the time the boy was a little confused about why he was asked to give up his food, who would have thought he would have been able to be apart of something great like that? What makes it difficult to give up stuff for God? What does Jesus do with the things we give Him? Do we make a difference in the lives of others like this small boy? I think that through us God has a chance to make us his miracles to enable us to give up everything, follow Him and become leaders, to bring others to Him. We can never give enough to make up for God’s ultimate sacrifice…Thank God for Grace!
Peace of God be with you,
