A miracle can be the gift to SERVE others.

My life is a miracle. My 3 year old son is a miracle, literally. Do you even comprehend the power in those statements? Because trust me I do. To make a long story short, I was nearly murdered in 1998. An abusive boyfriend stabbed me 17 times and set my body on fire. He barricaded me in our home and I thought I was going to die, until God intervened and had other plans for me. Greater plans than I had for myself.nnnI did die that day, in a manner of speaking. The “old me” was gone, no longer hurting. I was no longer the abused, neglected child. As I became born again I was renewed body, mind and soul. So I became an actual miracle, the first miracle in a line of many. Now you can fast forward to the year 2000 when I met my beautiful husband. I was able to love and be loved in return. Imagine that, me in a happy healthy loving relationship with a man, for the first time in my life. My husband became miracle two. nnnI often would have talks with the Lord and I would ask “Am I that special to you Lord that you could give me so much?” I was so grateful and so blessed and so happy. I never once took my life for granted. Then, in 2005 my husband and I had a son and we named him JeNoah. He is named after Noah my favorite man of God in the bible. Miracle number three in my life. I was told that I could never conceive a child because of the internal damage from the stabbing. It was the desire of my heart to be a mother and as a faithful servant God has rewarded me. I was given back the childhood that was stolen from me. I was given back the ability to have a healthy relationship with a man. Something I never had in the first 25 years of my life. Finally I was given back the dream. I had a dream to be a mother, a good mother and not the mother that I had growing up. I wanted to break the cycle of abuse in my life. When doctors said it would never be possible to have a child of my own, GOD restored my dream.nnSo I was given back EVERYTHING that the enemy stole from me. I realize that we too can give miracles to others, just as the Lord gave to me. The ability to serve others is powerful and it is our duty to do so. You can be holding on to someone's miracle just as you are reading this and you don’t even realize it. A need is a miracle in disguise. Allow me to repeat that A NEED IS A MIRACLE IN DISGUISE. There are others with so many needs and we have the ability to serve and to help them.nnYou can serve others with your time, or with your kindness and prayers. Who says that serving has to be just about money? The miracle is within you to give, not only for the holiday season but throughout the entire year. Allow serving others to be a lifestyle and a priority. This message was placed on my spirit and I believe for more miracles than we can count. nnI will leave you with this thought. If the Lord saw the good and worth in me,( as pitiful of a human being that I was at that time,) then we must see the good in all the people we come across everyday. No matter what their need may be. The greater the need, the greater the miracle you can give to them.n
