Have you ever think about this: I am a Miracle?
Growing
up as a Christian, I know that God performs miracles. I still remember
that I attended healing rallies when I was young and the speakers would
usually invite those with sickness to come forward and pray. At that
time, my thought was, "This is something very common happening in a
Church; Altar calls are very common, so there is nothing special about
it; God is Jehovah Rapha, so He heals and the like". In short, I was
being indifferent and ignorant about things that have been taking place
in my surrounding.
I remember seeing a phrase something
like this: Be thankful, for it is a miracle that we are alive today (I
cannot remember the exact phrase). Then I start to think, "Oh yeah, this
is very true!"
For some reason, I have been learning
about the Holy Spirit for the past few months. Firstly, I enrolled
myself in a course called "Dynamics of the Holy Spirit"; next, I joined a
seminar by an African Pastor on "Effective Fervent Prayer", then I
joined a conference on "The Fourth Dimension of the Holy Spirit"; and
lastly, I attended a healing crusade: "The Festival of God's Power".
I believe that my participation in these are not a coincidence. Amen!
It
is not the first time I witness miracles before my eyes; but I think it
is the first time (maybe I have experienced the same in the past, but
that was, past) I felt deeply touched by the miracles that happened
around me. Unconsciously, my eyes were flowing with tears of joy when I
saw the lame walked, the sick got healed, the blind saw, the deaf heard
and many other miracles, all by the touch of the Holy Spirit.
Then
I wondered, the fact that I am still breathing today, sitting here,
typing this out, is a miracle. It is so true that the fact that I am
able to wake up every morning and say, "Good morning, Jesus", is a
miracle. The fact that I am so unworthy and yet got saved by the blood
of Jesus Christ the Lord, is a miracle. When I saw the sick got healed, I
am so thankful to God that I am healthy and normal; This itself, is
indeed a miracle.
I am a sinner, so unworthy, but Jesus
Christ died on the Cross for me because of one word, LOVE. This is the
greatest miracle that all of us have experienced. He had already known
us even before we were borned. When Jesus left this world, God did not
forget us; He sent the Holy Spirit to guide us. How awesome He is, to
think for us, to do what is good for us, to plan everything for our
sake; so that we could have a deeper relationship with Him and will not
be lost.
We may be facing obstacles in life; but through
obstacles we are able to experience Him deeper. We maybe discouraged by
men; but He comforts and encourages us. We may feel that we are not
worthy at all, but again and again He assured us that He loves us. We
are sinners but He forgives us.
In Him, I can be assured
that there is hope in life; that there is love in this world; there is a
God who cares for me and wants to have a personal relationship with me.
When
we are apart from our loved ones, we feel that there is something
missing in our lives. If we are apart from God, how would God feel?
I
learn to be thankful because I am a miracle of God. I am formed in His
image. I am His daughter. I am His princess. Wow, what else do I hope
for? He is everything I need.
Thank You Jesus, for everything!
Jesus loves me this I know,
for the Bible tells me so,
Little ones to Him belong,
they are weak but He is strong.
Yes, Jesus loves me,
Yes, Jesus loves me,
Yes, Jesus loves me,
the Bible tells me so.
While we are still breathing on this earth, we should grab the opportunity to:
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.
God bless ~
