In our advanced technological age, most people deny the possibility of miracles.... Miracles don't happen, we are told, because they contravene the laws of nature and worse, they sound religious! Yet we live and move in a sea of miracle.

Scripture talks about life as a "valley of tears," and so it often is. But it is in the midst of tears and darkness that the deepest faith develops. Wherever and whenever miracles don't happen, we have an opportunity to allow faith to take root in our souls, and it is precisely this faith that has the power to work the deepest miracle of all, the one that happens quietly inside our own hearts.

Miracles don't just happen for some and not for others. They occur when specific conditions are nurtured. Like a seed, with the right minerals, water, air, and sunshine, anyone, no matter who you are or what you have done in the past, can begin creating practical miracles.

Miracles are like Bigfoot, thousands of people claim to see them, but no one seems to be able to video tape the damn things.

Miracles don't come from a lip-service relationship with God.

If you have been asking for a miracle with no results, remember that God still loves you and hasn't forgotten you. Nor is he indifferent to your suffering. Don't let your faith depend on miracles, but instead, ask God to accomplish his purposes even if he doesn't answer your prayers in precisely the way you hope he will.

Miracles are like drams--ye can't stop them, once you begin.
