Be Someone's Miracle

In John 4, Jesus heals a royal official’s son with just a word, and the ripple effect of that miracle leads an entire household to believe. In the same way, God often works through us in small, everyday acts of obedience that may seem ordinary but can become someone else’s miracle. From a mother delivering pasta to a struggling neighbor, to the unexpected opportunities we face at work, school, or even on the road, the call is clear: don’t just wait for a miracle… be the miracle.
