=========================== TODAY'S ARTICLE ==========================
Remember Grace, by Skye Noe
I wish I was better at documenting my life. As much as I like to think
my memory is strong and full of detail, there is so much that has
slipped away. There are many solutions to this problem; some people are
journal writers and have years of memorable moments locked away safely
in the pages of their diary. Others choose to take lots of pictures and
have boxes of old photos that chronicle special events. And still
others have turned to blogging as a source of remembrance. These
methods are diverse in nature, but the goal is inherently the same. We
all strive to tell our story. We long for opportunities to relive the
moments of our lives and without a record these moments are lost
forever.
Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the presence of his
disciples which are not recorded in this book (John 20:30).
Ever wonder how many miracles of Jesus are unknown to the world?
How many blind were given sight by His loving touch?
How many of the dead were brought back to life?
The stories of Jesus' life here on earth are precious to us because,
for believers, it gives a glimpse of what is to come. The unconditional
love combined with boundless mercy and infinite power set the stage for
the most beautiful collection of stories. If only the disciples had a
better memory. Perhaps they could have added more stories to the book,
but now it's too late. These stories have fallen into the past.
The miracles of Jesus are alive ...
But wait, look what the next verse says:
But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the
Christ, the son of God, and that by believing you may have life in
his name (John 20:31).
We will never know the details of every miracle performed by Jesus, but
we can still tell our story. The miracles of Jesus are alive and with
us today. Everyone that accepts "Jesus is the Christ, the son of God,
and that by believing you may have life in his name," has taken part in
a miracle.
I'll continue to lose certain memories over the years, but I will never
forget the miracle of God's grace. The proof is documented in my heart
and written in the journal of my mind. God's miracle of grace is new
each day. If you would like to learn how to accept this grace and start
your own story, please visit our website at www.hopeforlife.org or
