He will show you a better way ?

AMED 48.17

Home | A Miracle Every Day | Miracles | He will show you a better way ?

Love is a choice. It’s normal to live with bitterness, hatred, prejudice, and political animosity. Some politics around the world have become horrible examples of power grabs, broken promises, and division. The Good News is still alive in committed Christians who choose love as their greatest weapon.

The Bible tells all of us, “Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away … And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” (1 Corinthians 13:8 &13, NIV)

If you choose to love everyone around you, you will shine like a bright star in a dark environment. Jesus once said, “‘In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.’” (Matthew 5:16, NIV)  

Love is so powerful. It can heal a family in ruins or reconcile a broken friendship. It helps us respect different opinions or cross the street to help a handicapped person in need. 

Is love driving you? 

I grew up in a tough neighborhood in Montreal. Fights in the schoolyard were quite normal, and running home to avoid small gangs was my daily routine. Although I wasn’t always successful, I did learn a few important life lessons due to the beatings. For example, I learned how to fight. This new skill came in handy for my hockey career.

Have you ever watched a fight and saw a hockey game break out? I’m sorry, I know it’s a dumb joke, but it’s unfortunately very true. Hockey was a very rough sport in the ’70s, and my ability to fight helped me do very well. Yes, I did very well until I became a committed Christian.

When I invited Christ into my life, He really came in and started to heal my hurt and brokenness. I received forgiveness, I forgave my dad, and then something crazy happened: I started to love others. I know, I know…it sounds like a great thing, but it made me change. The rage that had fueled my career was replaced by a heart of love that has fueled my life. 

God can do the same for you. You can ask Christ to heal you and help you love yourself and others. 

Because you’re a miracle.

    It looks as if your readings and devotion are not matching up,happened yesterday and now today, Still good to hear your upbeat voice daily

  4. Stacey Derck on 17/11/2020 at 12:09 PM

    Today’s writing about your rough life growing up makes me realize how lucky I was growing up, never heard to worry about that, God certainly was looking out for you. God bless

    We love the word you share each day. As we are going through so many things in our Ministry (Resurrection Street Ministry we look to your daily teaching in guiding some of our efforts in working with the Veterans, Seniors and Homeless we care for daily. Your word for the day (both yesterday and today) are not in synchronization. Walk with Jesus, Bill Berry – Arizona
