Be a Miracle

Recently, I heard someone say, "If you want a miracle, be a miracle." In this time of loss of jobs, money, homes, stability we once knew, etc., I have often said we need a miracle now. So, when I heard this phrase, I applied it to myself.

Do I need a miracle now? Of course I do. Do I know how to be a miracle? Of course I don't. This has caused me to do a lot of thinking on this thing of being a miracle. How can I be a miracle? Can I be a miracle to someone else by doing something from my heart for them? Can I be a miracle by saying something special to someone? What do I need to do to be a miracle?

Helping someone else without expecting something back can often be a miracle for others. This week, my neighbor who was laid off, asked me if he could use my wireless connection so he could look for work online because his cable was out and he did not have money yet to re-connect it. He said it would be reconnected by the end of the week. After about fifteen seconds, I agreed to let him use it. If I were out of work, I know he would try to help me in any way he could. This is what we are supposed to do in this economy and days of "hard to swallow" things that occur. It is something that I, as a Christian, am to do in following the example left by Christ - help others. There is joy in helping others. It helps lift your own spirits to know that even when you do not have much to give, giving something to help others makes you feel so much better.

So, I got my miracle. I had such a great feeling (not an arrogant one) on the inside in being able to do just a small thing for someone else. My miracle was happiness. I realized that I was thinking in the wrong way. Miracles come in all forms and most times are not found in material or monetary things. Miracles are found in your heart. I'm so grateful that I found this answer.

What miracle do you need? Better yet, what miracle can you be?
