Expecting a miracle

[SalesianSDB]

For the past year and a half I’ve been hoping for a miracle. I don’t mean, pass my math class miracle. I mean a REAL medical miracle. And this past year the word “Hope” has been my mantra in a way. It took on a very special and real meaning for me. Hope. Hoping for a miracle.

Now, after a year and a half of hoping for a miracle, and no miracle, I heard a person say on TV, “I’ve stopped hoping for miracles. I’ve come to the point where I’m expecting miracles.” And it got me thinking.

Do you hope for or expect miracles?

Do you hope for or expect miracles?

IMO, you EXPECT God’s will to be done, and you HOPE that your miracle is part of God’s plan.

The miracle begins in your own heart. Hoping for a miracle is not wrong. Hope is the belief in things unseen. Expecting a miracle, IMO, relates a certainty of faith if expressed reverently. Expecting a miracle implies that you have strong faith that Jesus hears and answers your prayers. Just remember that the miracle that you have in mind may be far below the glorious miracle that God will provide. He loves you. He wants only good things for you. Pray and ask God for what you want. He is your loving Father. He will not give you a stone when you ask for bread. Remember, the miracle begins in your own heart as you open it to God’s will. In His precious name…Amen
