The impossible

I hear about struggles, impossible odds, and unreasonable circumstances all the time. In sharing my journey, so often times people look me in the eye and say, "Me too."
It's got me thinking about miracles. I believe in miracles because I have witnessed them. My nephew had strokes as a baby and wasn't supposed to be walking until three months of recovery. He was walking in three days. My sister says he didn't know he couldn't do it. My uncle had a heart attack, and it didn't look like he would pull through. He is still with us, functioning with half a heart and one of the kindest men I know.
Dear ones, impossible circumstances don't mean God has left you or that He wasn't real at all. They simply set you up to experience Him in a way that makes you uncomfortable because you're not in control. When we lose control, He is able to work a miracle because we know there was no other way.
Miracles can be as ordinary as a friend visiting on a day we really needed one or as extraordinary as my uncle's recovery. Sometimes God does them all by Himself, and sometimes He uses others, even those who don't know Him, to get the job done.
Please don't lose heart. As Rich Mullins said, "If you're on the verge of a miracle, open your eyes and see."
God bless you with impossible circumstances so that you might know Him.
