Can You Be A Miracle Worker?

As defined by Wikipedia a miracle is an event attributed to divine intervention. Sometimes an event is also attributed (in part) to a miracle worker, saint, or religious leader. A miracle is sometimes thought of as a perceptible interruption of the laws of nature. While attending a graduation for once at-risk-youth, this idea of a miracle was introduced and I thought to myself: Can I be a miracle worker?

What is a miracle worker? Based on the last thought of a miracle, I would have to say that a miracle worker is someone who comes in and takes the time to be attentive to the needs of someone else. You may not know that a person is on their way to a bottomless pit, but just by listening you could make the difference between life or death, freedom or jail, happiness or sadness, success or failure, peace or turmoil. If you have ever been that person than you have been a miracle worker because you defied what was supposed to inevitably happen in that person's life by intervening. And because of you that person is now a miracle.

I believe in the cycle of being a miracle to becoming a miracle worker. If we were all able to make that transition this life that we live would be more fulfilling and purposeful. So, if you have not seen a miracle lately you may want to take a glance in the mirror because it could possibly be staring you right the your face.

Success Comes with a Price!

I have realized that in this life if you want to be successful you have to take risks and make investments. Investments may not always be monetary. You can make physical, emotional and psychological investments. Despite the type, you have an input in order to get an output. I am realizing that the result may be phenomenal but will require patience and prayer while enduring pain. While it is important to give back, there have to be some corners that you turn that you have to live life for yourself and do somethings that make you happen. You may have to make tough decisions that may be unproperly or that may produce a few unhappy people. But no matter what stick to the reason you came to your final decision and know that there is an ultimate outcome that will benefit many. Finding resolve in your purpose can be difficult when having to break promises but keeping my promise to Him is most important if I ever to whole-heartedly fullfill my purpose.
