Miracles abound

Today is my birthday.My husband told me before he left for work that he hoped I had a good day. I am trying to learn the difference between "happy" and "joy".God does not promise to make me happy, but he will restore my joy. Joy is best defined as cheerfulness, or calm delight, both of which I would accept. My gift to myself today was to work in my garden. I had been out there several times raking out leaves, pulling weeds, and trimming off frozen foliage. It was hard for me to be in it because I just couldn't stand seeing it so bare. I had managed to keep several things from freezing, and even had some flowers still blooming, but I just needed it to be like it was. As I was down on my knees pulling every last weed out, I noticed that several of my plants had new leaves...almost overnight...and on of all things my birthday !!









I was so careful to pull the mulch away from the tender little shoots. Part of a Bible verse kept coming to mind “Behold, I make all things new.” As I sat in my garden and looked at theses new little plants I realized that the verse was for me too..ALL things new....God can do that for me too.. things will never be the same, maybe they shouldn't be..but ..they can be new..God can make me new. As I looked up the verse, I loved that it came right behind the verse that I have posted ALWAYS on this blog..Revelation 21

4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
5 Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.”

Creation shows the power of God
There's glory all around,
And those who see must stand in awe,
For miracles abound.

Refrain.
I believe in miracles
I've see a soul set free,
Miraculous the change in one
Redeemed through Calvary;
I've seen the lily push its way
Up through the stubborn sod
I believe in miracles
For I believe in God!


2. I cannot doubt the work of God
It's plain for all to see;
The miracles that He has wrought
Should lead to Calvary.

Refrain.
I believe in miracles
I've see a soul set free,
Miraculous the change in one
Redeemed through Calvary;
I've seen the lily push its way
Up through the stubborn sod
I believe in miracles
For I believe in God!


3. The love of God! O power divine!
'Tis wonderful to see
The miracle of grace performed
Within the heart of me.

Refrain.
I believe in miracles
I've see a soul set free,
Miraculous the change in one
Redeemed through Calvary;
I've seen the lily push its way
Up through the stubborn sod
I believe in miracles
For I believe in God!
