John 1:35-51 & John 2: 1-12
The First Disciples & the Wedding at Cana
Jesus asked him (Nathaniel), "Do you believe all this just because I told you I had seen you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than this. The truth is, you will all see heaven open up and the angels of God going up and down upon the Son of Man." (50, 51)
At the wedding of Cana, Jesus turns water to wine (upon his mother's request).
Christ reminds us that He can perform "miracles". We just need to have faith, to believe. God is reminding me of his faithfulness to me. My husband was deemed pretty ill about 6 months ago. He was diagnosed with diabetes and high blood pressure. Just 2 weeks ago, the doctor, himself, claimed it was a "miracle" that he is off the diabetic medication and his blood pressure is like that of a 16 year old! Praise God!
Of course, I will not lie, what lies heavy on both my heart and his, is having a child of our own. Now that would require another miracle. Of course God performs miracles, but will this prayer request be a part of God's plan, His will? In Cambodia, God told me to be patient. He loves me and in time, He will provide. And so I wait... not expecting, but accepting His will with a glad heart.
For the past 2 weeks I have been in and out of the hospital, helping my grand aunt and uncle. My grand uncle had heart bypass surgery. He has no children of his own and my grand aunt has no relatives. I knew that God placed it in my heart to do all within my means to be of service to them. He provided me with words of comfort and used me to represent His love for them - used me to remind them that they are not abandoned.
I ask God to continue to open my heart to receive his gift of love and obedience and to help me be more disciplined in my actions to lead a life that will please the Lord.
