Miracles Unfolding

Each new day is a brand new start so lift up your eyes and open your heart,
Miracles happen, they are everywhere, some are just gifts , some answered prayer.
New life begins not only in Spring but where there is love and hearts that care.
The world has it's riches it's plain to see but the greatest treasure is within you and me.

I've been thinking about the things that happen in life that we don't always expect. Some of them shouldn't even take us by surprise but they do anyways. How many times have you prayed a prayer and went about your daily tasks and maybe even daily worries trying to fix a situation in your mind and wondering how something good can come out of something that seems to have gone all wrong? I sure have! When the prayer is answered and I am sometimes surprised. Why is that? I think there are times I don't pray in complete faith . I know God can do anything yet somehow I don't accept the fact that He will do it for me.
I thank God that He sees the part of me that longs to trust but perhaps has been hurt in some area and is struggling because He also sees that spark of faith and hope and shows me His grace and mercy through His  answers. Some answers are just what I hope for , others come in ways that seem unlikely blessings yet the end result shines Gods wisdom, He knew all along!

Perhaps some of the hardships of today are miracles unfolding . It's happened before and He can do it again!
God has never failed me.

Through It All lyrics

I’ve had many tears and sorrows,
I’ve had questions for tomorrow,
there’s been times I didn’t know right from wrong.
But in every situation,
God gave me blessed consolation,
that my trials come to only make me strong.

Chorus:
Through it all,
through it all,
I’ve learned to trust in Jesus,
I’ve learned to trust in God.

Through it all,
through it all,
I’ve learned to depend upon His Word.

Verse 2:
I’ve been to lots of places,
I’ve seen a lot of faces,
there’s been times I felt so all alone.
But in my lonely hours,
yes, those precious lonely hours,
Jesus lets me know that I was His own

Chorus

Verse 3:
I thank God for the mountains,
and I thank Him for the valleys,
I thank Him for the storms He brought me through.
For if I’d never had a problem,
I wouldn’t know God could solve them,
I’d never know what faith in God could do.

“Some knowledge is too heavy...you cannot bear it...your Father will carry it until you are able.”
