Back Door Miracles

I was feeling down. I prayed, but I couldn’t get rid of the cloud of discouragement.

Then came a knock at my back door.

It was my friend Ginny. 

My phone was in another room and I’d missed her text and call, but she persisted. 

A few hours of girl time with this godly woman was just what I needed.

A coincidence? No way.

I don’t think Ginny knew she was on a mission, but God knew.

Sometimes God speaks to us though sermons, Scripture, prayer, books, and devotions. Sometimes He speaks through a knock at the back door and a chat over coffee.

Does God have a mission for you today? An email, letter, phone call, or visit might be a little miracle in another person’s life. 

“Therefore encourage one another and build each other up.” 1 Thessalonians 5:11

“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10

Perhaps you are thinking, "I'm the one who needs a friend right now!" Did you know that sometimes the best way to get over discouragement is to focus on someone else's needs? See Beatin' the Blues.
