“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” – Albert Einstein  

You have a choice – will you enjoy the miracle of life that life is or not?  That’s it!  You have your life that you are living today.  Everyday that you live your life here on this earth is a miracle.  We do not realize or appreciate it, because most of the time, we don’t feel that we are in any danger of losing this life we are living.

Visit the hospital and walk into some of the rooms I have walked into and you will understand what a miracle life is.  When someone is gasping for their next breath, they know what a miracle life is.  When someone forgets what normal feels like, because they have been living with chronic pain and they finally get a moments relief – they know what a miracle life is.  When someone gets the news from the doctor that there is nothing else that can be done, you can bet that person thinks about and knows what a miracle life is.

You have been given this moment.  It is a miracle.  You are not promised the next moment, so take the time right now to make the most of the miracle of the moment that you are living and live up to your full potential!

You are a special creation.  You have an amazing purpose.  You are a miracle.  Yes – you – the person who is reading this.  You may not realize it, you may not believe it, but you and the life that you are living is a miracle, don’t take any part of it for granted.

Breathe in, hold it! = Miracle!  Breathe out, hold it! = Miracle!  Breathe in and out =  Miracle!  Look around, what do you see? = Miracle!  Listen, what do you hear? = Miracle!  Rub your belly with one hand and pat your head with the other, and even if you can’t do it? = Still a miracle!

Your life is a miracle.  You are a miracle.  Say:  “Thank You!”  He heard you and smiled! = Another Miracle!

Some people endure life and some people live life.  I hope that you are living life, but more important than living life is making sure you are living the right life.  A lot of people live life, but not the life they were created and gifted to live.  The problem with not living the life you were created to live, is you miss some amazing things and other people miss some amazing things that could and should flow to and through you.

What life are you living?  The reality for each and every human being is this:  There is room for improvement and growth in your life!  You and I need to be honest with ourselves and with one another about this reality.  In what areas of your life do you need to improve and how do you need to grow?  It is different for everybody.

Take some time to get into some still quietness and really think about this.  Think about your life and how you can live it better.  Think about what you were uniquely created for.  Think about what you need to do that only you can do.  Think about some of the issues that you need to take on and take out.  Make this personal and stop dragging everything and everybody else into it.

You are alive and you are alive to live.  You are alive to live the life that only you can live.  Live this life for Your Creator’s glory and for man’s blessing and you will discover that life is worth the living!

Matthew 22:37 says:  ‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’  It then goes on to say that we are to love one another as we love ourselves.  I know what I am supposed to do and I have moments where I really get it right.  I also have moments where I really get it wrong.  I could continue to play the game that most everyone else in our world loves to play and pretend, but what good would that do me and where would that get me in my spiritual journey?

Lord, I want to love You, the way You deserve to be loved, the way You want to be loved.  When I stop and think about everything you’ve done for me, for us, I just can’t help but to be amazed at Your goodness, grace, forgiveness and restoration.  We are so undeserving.  On our best day, we could not even come half-way close to earning anything good from You.  Yet, out of the great love and amazing grace that You have for us, comes this incredible opportunity to love You back.

I don’t want to love You back with just any love.  I want to love you back with all of my heart.  Please help me to stop guarding and holding back parts of my heart.  You have more than proven that I can trust you.  I want to love you with all of my soul.  The reality that You have saved and protect my soul, does not escape me.  Help the soul that You have saved, protected and loved to love You back.  I want to love you with all of my mind and this seems to be the place of greatest challenge, because my mind can become divided and segmented before I even realize what is going on.  Help me Lord, to let You control my thoughts and organize my mind.

I see so many play the game and then realize that I am often one of the so many.  Lord, I don’t want to be.  Please help me to make my heart the pure home for You that it needs to be.  Help my soul to know Who it belongs to, has been saved by and show it by impacting all the areas of my life and living.  And help me to fight and win the battle of the mind by not thinking as the world would have me to think, but by thinking the thoughts of my Most High God.

Lord, I love You, and I know I can love You more and better, please help me.  Lord, I love others, but I know I can love others more and better, please help me to make progress in this area of my life, not just so that I might progress, but so that I might really love You…  G3!
