Miracles large and small

A friend who went through much in life penned her thoughts on miracles to a group of us through email.
I thought it was quite poignant. Decided to doctor it a little, change the structure to disguise its writer.
But essentially this is it. Wanted to blog it, to share and remember it.

I think sometimes its just sweet to savour the miracle of being loved across the universe
- To know that Someone thought you worth the time and effort to befriend and behold.

The same sweet Someone who takes our inner desert of death and dryness,
digs and dwelves out a spectacular, gushing, flowing fountain of Life
and grows a Kingdom,

Amazing grace indeed :)

And now from J herself:

"There are times when my soul craves for the spectacular.
 
I cry out, like a child to the Father,
for mountains to crumble, clouds to burn, oceans to part, the dead to walk.

But of course, He knows better.

In the past, the children of Israel did not have God inside them.
He was outside.
So God needed to shout with the spectacular to get their attention.

Today, God is in us. Remain in him. He remains in you.

When He moves, we know.
We don't need to rely on the spectacular.

Today's miracles are just as spectacular.
But we don't see them outside because it is all INSIDE.

What we read about and gaped at in the old, is but a reflection of the greater in the new:
The spectacular within.

Today, walls still come tumbling down. Not of bricks and motar which we read about.
But of bitterness made sweet, unforgiveness turned mercy, fear turned to courage

Seas still part. Inside us. 
Walls still fall. Inside us.
Darkness blazes into light. Inside us.
What was dead comes to life. Inside us.
Stone becomes flesh. Inside us.

One glorious day, these things will all happen in the Land of the Living once more in even fuller glory than ever.
Till then, we take heart, and wait on Him..the One who brings all things to pass.

It was so easy for me to miss the miracles that happen today.

I was looking outside."
