Look out for everyday wonders!

Publication date Sep 11, 2024

Recently, I was awake half the night. A lot of experiences and thoughts had accumulated in my life, even a lot of good things!

But even good things need to be processed somewhere. And indeed, there were some challenges that just wouldn't leave my mind. And physically, I wasn't feeling quite well either. 

No matter how many times I reminded my heart: "Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you." (1 Peter 5:7 NLT) …my heart somehow didn't want to accept that and couldn't find peace. Who hasn't experienced this too?

friend, that was a night after I had come back from an overwhelming tour and had seen many, many people decide to follow Jesus! Just then, I read an email from my mother, who had been there that night with her anorexic daughter. It said, "I am convinced that my daughter took healing home!"

And yet...my heart was still restless. Or maybe because of that? friend, we will always experience restlessness. The question is: why?

Are you experiencing restlessness because you're getting in the way of the enemy's goal to destroy people? Or are you experiencing this restlessness because you know deep down that God has called you to be a peacemaker, but you're not doing it?

You can disrupt the one who disrupts you by living out your calling, friend.

The Bible says: "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God." (Matthew 5:9 NLT

The Peacemaker brings peace between God and people. But they also bring peace between family members and themselves, and most importantly, between themselves and God.

It starts in secret, behind closed doors, on our knees, and ends on big stages that don't always look like stages but often like the workplace.

And you know what, friend? Even if you continue to experience this restlessness inside, you know deep down that God is above everything, everything, everything!

You are a miracle!
