What is a miracle?
What is a miracle? It is when the impossible happens.
It’s when doctors have given up on a sick child and for no scientific reason, that child gets well. It’s when you’re down to your last dollar, have piles of bills to be paid, and a check arrives in the mail from some unknown source. It’s when a hurricane comes through a town and your house is left standing with desolation all around it. It’s when a child is born and you can’t believe how exquisitely miniature this new life appears. It’s when you’ve prayed for a specific purpose and that prayer is answered. It’s when there is no earthly reason something wonderful has happened.
Miracles take place everyday. Sometimes they’re very subtle and quiet, sweeping in like a touch on the face. Other times, it’s very evident and public. It doesn’t matter who you are, miracles can happen to anyone.
Why do miracles take place? It may be that God wants your attention!
When you believe in God, you gain an awareness of Him. You see everything in a new light. He shows His great power through the trials and tribulations of life, through nature and science. God is in the impossible business.
What is a miracle? Someone once said, “Coincidence is when God wants to remain anonymous.” Well, miracles are when God reveals Himself. Without Him there would be no miracles!All glory and honor and praise belong to Him.

"...Sometimes I see you stuck
For such a long time
A daily nothing new
Pretend I don’t mind
With lists of things you’ll never do
Until somehow you do
And you do — you do — you shine..."
