Twelve Months of Christ: January

 Jesus said to the father, "You said, "If you can!"

All things are possible for the one who believes"

Mark 9:23 

This year for my blog, God told me to write the 12 months of Christ. I can’t tell you why or what about each month I must write. I’ve listened, I hope to learn and like every child of a parent I do what I am told (well, most of the time).

Every January, we hear “how are you going to be a better you this year?”, “lose weight”, “what are your resolutions?”, “make more money”, etc. How many Januaries have we started being more stressed than impressed and lack motivation and inspiration?

I recently watched the movie “Miracles from Heaven” and I discovered what I have to share with you this January. I loved the words I heard and received from this movie, “Miracles are from God and God is with us. Miracles are all around us”

A miracle, according to the dictionary is defined as “an event which is believed to have a supernatural or divine cause/any wonderful or surprising event.”

A miracle is defined in the Bible as “wonderful thing”, “great event which can be done only by God’s help. Miracles are special signs to show God’s power”

You know sometimes we say “it’s a miracle I wasn’t in that accident or storm or place” when something tragic has happened especially when we were literally, just there mere seconds or minutes away. We sit slightly shell shocked, imagining if we were there, wondering if we would be okay, hurt or even alive. It's also at this time that we often count our blessings that we weren't there.

So next time you say this, consider this, you who are reading this, believer or non-believer. It’s a miracle that you believe in miracles because miracles are from God and only Him.

Look around, look inside you. As we end off January, look at all the miracles God has surrounded you with. 

Jesus looked at them and said, 

"This is something people cannot do, but God can.

God can do all things"

Mark 10:27

Now, imagine how many more He can bring into your life?

This year, let’s not focus too much on resolutions. Let’s focus, as we start a new year of Christ, on all the wonderful things He has done, will do and plans to do in your life, for your life and with you in your life, this year, 2017.
