#LMMLinkup: M is for Miracle

April 15, 2019 By Mary Hill 11 Comments

God’s beautiful miracles are everywhere.

Easter Sunday nears and I reflect on the word: Miracle. “Miracle” is a poetic word of power and love braided together in awe. What was the greatest miracle in my life? I shared this story before but I want to share it again today.

Jesus’s greatest miracle was His own resurrection from the dead. I didn’t always believe in that miracle. When I was six and my mom told me to bring the trash can back to the house, my response was anger and kicking it all over the yard.

My mom calmly told me, “You know Jesus saw you disobeying me. How do you think that made Him feel?”

My smart six-year-old answer, How can Jesus see me? He is dead and is in the grave? My mom's wonderful answer. Let me tell you the rest of the story. Jesus didn't stay in the grave. He rose again and is heaven with…

She then led me to the Lord in my living room. Sitting at the coffee table on my knees, I bowed my small head and asked Jesus to forgive me and to help me to become a good little girl and to come into my heart. To become my Savior. His miracle became so real to me. He was alive, and He was in my heart.

The miracles of Jesus did not start with His resurrection. He brought back people from the dead. He healed the sick. He made the lame to walk again. He healed the brokenhearted.

Jesus' miracles are alive today. He still heals. He still mends our hearts and spirits. He reaches out to all with love and grace.

TRUE AUTHORITY

By Lesley at LIFE IN THE SPACIOUS PLACE

gavel-3577254_640

Leslie writes poignantly from the point of view of Pilate, telling his story as he decides what to do with Jesus as part of a current series Looking at the Cross at Gracefully Truthful from the perspectives of different characters. She shows the struggle of Pilate as he decides how to approach the case of the man, Jesus of Nazareth. This series is a breath of love drifting through your heart as it brings you up close to the Passion of Christ. It is a not miss study this Easter Season.

Created to Conquer

By Jo Davis

Jo describes her day at the women’s conference in the beautiful Sierra Mountains outside of Yosemite National Park when she decided to participate in the high ropes course, something she never tried before. She writes about the euphoria she felt when she reached the summit, but then the fear that washed over her as realizes she must jump a great gulf. Jo then writes:

“As I stood there, precariously perched atop of the pole, the diameter of which wasn’t much wider than my feet, I panicked! …. but in my fear, I couldn’t move…  How often do we experience similar situations in our walk with Christ? … Fear. Fear of rejection, fear of failure and fear of things not working the way we want. But … ”

    Wonderful story, Mary. I was in a chapel and 11, but I have always taught young children about Him and that He sees and hears them, grown ups would do well to remember that too.

    Oh what a precious testimony of Christ’s Life being opened before you. His new life is such a miracle in our lives! I have been remembering those moments in my own children’s lives this week too. What a blessing. May you have a beautiful Easter week!

    Mary, I love your testimony. I have told parents often that when their children disobey, they need to consistently and lovingly share the gospel so they can see how sinful we all are and that all of us need Him. He is our only hope. Those are some of the greatest opportunities to share the gospel with them. And when the time is right, certainly not always the first time, God just may open their hearts! Easter blessings to you and your family!
