Lisa Notes: I need a miracle

You recognize them. The signs of the homeless. Those needing help.

But this sign was different. Jeff saw it last week. Driving under the overpass of E470 in Denver, he spotted the man in dirty clothes and a cap.

And his sign.
It said:
“I need a miracle.”

That was all.
I need a miracle.

Yes.
I do.
You, too?

If you’re in Christ, you’ve already received a huge one.
The miracle of life. A rescue straight from the mouth of destruction. A deliverance that never ends.

But God doesn’t stop there.

He brings fresh miracles every morning. Maybe we don’t recognize them as such, but how many unexplained and supernatural gifts have we unwrapped by nightfall?

The sarcastic outburst I had last night?
Washed away. Miracle.
The friend I meant to check on but ‘forgot’?
Second chance. Miracle.
The attitude I harbored that “I would never do that!”?
Forgiven. Miracle.

Miracles of grace.
Recognize them. They’re the signs of the saved. Those receiving help.

I need them. Every day.
He gives them. Every day.
So I thank him. Every day. You, too?

We are still alive because the LORD'S faithful love never ends.
Every morning he shows it in new ways!
You are so very true and loyal!
Lamentations 3:22-23 (ERV)

I still believe in miracles, no matter what they say. The wonder-working power of God is still at work today. And every day, as you so aptly put it. And yes, His mercies are new every morning! Hallelujah!

Yes, I do, too! Need them, that is -- sadly, I forget to often to thank Him for them.

Some years ago a college student at our church was giving a testimony that she longed to see God do something "big" in her life. Not only had He already in saving her, but the "everyday manna" was as much His blessing as the "big" manifestations. I didn't know quite how to tell her then, but I hope He helped her come to know that.

I agree. I really do try to thank Him daily for the blessings and miracles of His protection and provision.

You gotta appreciate the poor in heart that know the truth... We all need that miracle... Well said Lisa.

I started reading and working at The Artist Way. For a week i have been writing and then the first task today was -write down the negative affirmation from the week- the list wasn't a surprise and then write the positive affirmations from the week's writings and although they shouldn't have been a surprise they were - I am a child of God and he loves me no matter what, I am not alone and i am not forgotten - a miracle YES

You are right - the miracle of grace is something we experience every day. That, and the sun shining, the birds singing, a family living and the Lord providing all in His due time. It is all the miracle of life.
