Dearest God,

A miracle of light. A shaft of light that leaves heaven striking the earth.

Nick preached about a miracle. While in a room, just a few feet away, a true miracle was taking place. A new song from your lips was being sung.

Your words, your desire, your light still resonates upon the earth. You still have something to say, to tell your people who still don't fully get it. You still reach out in ways beyond our imagination.

Some days I just stand back and watch it happen. I see your presence titillating the souls of people all around me. I know you are alive among us, still doing wonderful things. In earlier days you healed a lame man, resurrected a little girl, rid a woman's bleeding, and gave yet another woman hope.

You make all the difference. You are the excitement in the air. You are the light. You are every miracle that unfolds. You are the song, the dance, the joy. We cannot manufacture what we are seeing.

I see it so clearly, like a veil lifted, a fog removed.

Your presence
is within your church.
You have something more
to say.
Words that challenge,
words that encourage,
words that give hope,
words that present love,
words that bring friendship,
words that offer
a new way,
words that transform.
Words that are you.

Love, Andrea
