Miracle of the Heart
What is a miracle?
A miracle took place in my heart this week. A realization. A clear view of where the Lord would have me go. And I feel so free -- yet at the same time I feel the gravity of what it means to embark on this new journey. It will take a new kind of determination and hard work.
Hard
Work.
But, it's worth it.
We all experience these miracles in our hearts. It comes after an extended season of praying and seeking God. Some of us fast. Some of us meditate on the Word. Some of us talk to our pastors or a trusted brother or sister in the Lord. But, mostly it is all of these in combination with life-events that God uses to speak to us.
And when He speaks, it's a miracle. A miracle takes place in our heart. How could it be any other way when the Living God speaks to your heart?
When Bruce and I pray about JOHN, we experience this kind of miracle of the heart every week. The presence of God couldn't be thicker. And we feel the embrace of God and we know that God's people are praying. And we know that the Holy Spirit is touching hearts to be invovled. To roll up their sleeves and be a part of this project born out of a burden for the lost and a deep restless hunger to see Jesus lifted high.
But, how many of us allow ourselves the chance to experience this miracle of the heart? How many of us are willing to say "Yes and Amen" when God whispers in our hearts -- "This is the way in which you should go!"
If only we would say yes.
I'm at a loss for words to describe this miracle of the heart. That moment when we bow our hearts, and say "Yes and Amen" to His call!
(Yes, I'm back because the Lord's compelled me to continue writing! A new video blog is up. This one is a two-parter as well. It is up on MySpace and will soon be up on YouTube as well.)
PRAISE JESUS!
