Joanne Lowe's Meditations : 'Our God of Miracles'

OUR GOD OF MIRACLES
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
John 3:16 (King James Version)
     The beloved John W. Peterson wrote one of the greatest songs of all time “It Took a Miracle”.  Mr. Peterson went home to be with Jesus on September 20, 2006 but his music and his love for Jesus is still touching countless hearts and lives.  What a legacy of love he has left for his family.
     “It took a miracle to put the stars in place; It took a miracle to hang the world in space.  But when He saved my soul, Cleansed and made me whole, It took a miracle of love and grace!”  The words in this song are so true.  It was a miracle of love and grace.  Thank God for the cross of love!
     “And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.  Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.  And they parted his raiment, and cast lots” (Luke 23:33,34).
     Heavenly Father, we give You thanks for the miracle of salvation through Your Son’s shed blood on the cross.  Jesus, thank You for loving us so much that even while you were hanging on that cruel cross of agony, You forgave us.  I love You with all of my heart.  Thank You for dying for me and for loving me.  Amen.
