Dear God,

It really is true!  When we trust in you, take your outreached hand, and take the first step following you, the miracle begins.  A mind can be changed, a broken heart can be healed, and a new life can be forged. Repeatedly you show us the way.

Once again I witnessed the miracle of life.  I watched a disappointing hurt, a built-up resentment, and an ugly bitterness be massaged by faith.  I observed the healing from afar and finally up close.  I saw your hand prints.

More and more I discover evidence of your compassionate love.  I find your love to be greater than any other.  I unearth facts leading to the conclusion that you care immensely for all your children, the good and the bad, the loving and the uncaring, and the the merciful and the unmerciful.  Your love is the same for us all.

When I gaze upon a new life reshaped by your hands, I know your love has spilled out in that direction.  I see it for myself and my own faith is strengthened.  I am wowed by your mercy!

Thank you,
Heavenly Father,
for loving us.
Thank you
for the healing
of my friend.
Thank you
for faith
that gives eyes
to see
through the
vale of tears.
You are
a wondrous God!

Love, Andrea
