A Miracle for (You)Sample

God can you use you as a Miracle.

My prayer for you today is that you will see the miracles of God all around you. God is a God of hope and His miracles always point us back to Him. May the power of Jesus encourage and strengthen your heart today.

My friend (and A Miracle Every Day co-writer) Deborah is a miracle! In a recent magazine article I had the privilege to read, she writes:

“I’ve experienced several big miracles in my life. I’ve been through many hardships from depression to sexual abuse. Yet, the biggest miracle would be the one where I lost almost 30 kilograms because of one sentence that was spoken over me when I was a teenager. Yes, the power of words....the doctors told me I only had 2-3 weeks to live. In their desperation, my parents cried out to God. It was a prayer full of hopelessness and hope. Of doubts and strong faith – all at the same time! The prayer reached my heart like nothing else before and saved my life. It’s been a process that has not always been easy, but I got healed 100%!”

My wife Laurel and I got to meet Deborah face-to-face for the first time a few weeks ago and we were instantly captivated by her JOY! Deborah embodies the joy of the Lord and you feel it coming from every fiber of her being. She is a walking example of Isaiah 61 which says:

“The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise.” (Isaiah 61:1-3, NIV)

Jesus has certainly wrapped Deborah in a garment of praise!

Today is the day that God can do a miracle in your life. God wants to anoint you to bring the good news of His miracles to the world around you. God can use you to set captives free so that God’s favor can be put on display for all to see. God can use you to bring the miracle of comfort into the life of someone who is hurting. God can exchange the ashes of your life for a crown of beauty! God can pour the oil of blessing all over your life and He can dress you in a garment of praise as you seek Him with all of your heart.

Deborah is living proof of all that God has for YOU!!!! Today, make the beautiful exchange with Jesus and believe in Him for your miracle!

You are a Miracle!
