Miracles. We all love them, hope for them, wait for them, pray for them.
How many of us haven’t been inspired by the story of Jesus raising his friend Lazarus in John 11, and hoped for God to move the stone in our life and bring our Lazarus back to life?
Why do some see their miracles come to life while others stare on with painful longing? Why does Jesus seem so far when you want him to be near? Why does he seem so silent when you want him to speak?
What I have learned in my life is that there is a greater miracle than the miracle of getting what I want. And it is the miracle of receiving exactly what I need.
Listen to this talk I recently gave at Simply Jesus Gathering. I hope it will encourage and comfort you greatly.

wonderful teaching.
I’m glad to hear this at the same time you are teaching about Ruth. As you explain God’s good plans for us, I have thought of those who have been persecuted for their faith. One man was beaten more than once. His miracle was God’s peace, but not delivery from the pain.
I just finished reading a book about the holocaust last night & found myself crying out to God how horrible that was & how painful to Him it must have been to see His children suffering so much – so your message on miracles was so encouraging to me today & especially looking to Him for what I need & not just want- so vital in our walk w the Lord – thank you for sharing such a great message! May the Lord continue to bless you!
