Miracles. There are many definitions, but a simple one is: that which only God can do. We are daily surrounded by many opportunities for God to show off. But, nothing as unique and timely as him re-creating us in His image. It is very contrary to our human perspective of perfection, but so very God. In my weakness, in my shortcomings, and even in my biggest mess-ups he is making me new. He is working a miracle in me. He is revealing truth, breaking chains, and setting this captive free. My innate desire is to want get it right the first time or avoid anything difficult. Not make the mistake...for lack of a better description: be perfect or have life be easy. But, this relationship with Christ is so much richer. Ultimate dependency on Christ alone. He is my strength, my joy, and my peace. If I didn't need forgiveness or wisdom, I would have no need for Him.
It is in my trials that I see Him clearly. I rest in His presence and wait for His guidance. The obstacles of life can be blessings of opportunity to become more like Him. When we find ourselves broken and poured out He gently rescues and comforts us through the sculpting of His image. The canvas of my soul sometimes feels like a roaring ocean instead of a peaceful river. But oh, to know the one who calms the storm. He makes all things new. He gives life, more abundantly.
