Miracles

We all an ability to find what is truly good for us in life, to truly know what will serve us to improve our quality of lives. To find the path of  truth and freedom in our lives. But the path often takes us through the difficult valley of pain and tribulation.

Because the valley is a catalyst for the process of growth and transformation, where the death of self and all its hindering illusions lead us to the revelation of grace and newness of life.

Just as a shell breaks open to allow the seed within to grow up through the hard soil under the life giving sun. This little miracle reminds us that pain seems no less wondrous than joy for they both seem to spring from the same place within the soul as both come from the trials of life. They are opposites yet one cannot exist without the other reminding us to wait through the long winters of pain until the joy of spring comes.
As we learn to accept the passing weather so do we learn that the heart has different seasons of growth and decay. To learn to welcome the miracle of healing when it does come, even in the form of a bitter potion for the soul that cleanses and brings a brighter tomorrow.
To lead us away from choosing hurt and self destruction, to show us that we are all a miracle child of God. To show us that we hope not in vain for a way through our hurt that is so often self-imposed, but that we can have so much more than we dreamed possible.
What do you seek, strive and hope for today? Whatever it may be, it lies within your grasp. Never, ever give up!
