Don't Miss the Miracle of THIS Moment

It’s time for letting go
All of our if only’s
‘Cause we don’t have a time machine
And even if we did
Would we really want to use it?
Would we really want to go change everything?
‘Cause we are who and where
And what we are for now
And this is the only moment
We can do anything about

So breathe it in and breathe it out
And listen to your heartbeat
There’s a wonder in the here and now
It’s right there in front of you
I don’t want you to miss the miracle of the moment

There’s only one who knows
What’s really out there waiting
In all the moments yet to be
And all we need to know
Is He’s out there waiting
To Him the future’s history
And He has given us
A treasure called right now
And this is the only moment
We can do anything about

So breathe it in and breathe it out
And listen to your heartbeat
There’s a wonder in the here and now
It’s right there in front of you
I don’t want you to miss the miracle of the moment

And if it brings you tears
Then taste them as they fall
And let them soften your heart
And if it brings you laughter
Then throw your head back
And let it go, let it go, yeah
You gotta let it go
And listen to your heartbeat, yeah

Breathe it in and breathe it out
And listen to your heartbeat
There’s a wonder in the here and now
It’s right there in front of you
I don’t want you to miss the miracle of the moment

Steven Curtis Chapman- Miracle of the Moment


No matter what you are going through, don't let it cloud your view so much that you miss the miracle of what God is doing in your life in this very moment. You may wish you could go back in time and change what has happened so you could have a different outcome. You may be hoping and praying that these days, weeks, months, and years go by quickly so that you will finally be in a "better" place. You may feel like the place you are in right now is the deepest, darkest, most awful place you have ever been in in your entire life and you are begging God is bring you out of it quickly, to change the situation, to alleviate your pain.

But God isn't in the business of making our lives trouble free. He never said the Christian life would be void of heartache and pain. Yet He is making a beautiful masterpiece out of your life and He promises to NEVER leave you nor forsake you. What's happened in the past is exactly that....it's in the past. There is nothing you can do about it now. Stop re-playing the past in your mind and rehearsing the "what if's". In the same way, what may happen in the future is just a huge list of uncertainties so stop worrying about what may happen and live in the right now, fully experiencing what IS happening. .

Don't miss the miraculous things God wants to show you in THIS VERY DAY!!!!!

"God

does not promise

to lead us in paths of

prosperity or popularity,

paths of

comfort or temporary happiness.

He promises to lead us in

paths of righteousness,

which means

God will sometimes lead us into

pain

and

discomfort

for our holiness.

And this is good for us.

It is good because

in those moments

we hold tightly to Him

and in those moments

we are conformed more

to the image of His Son.

This results in our joy."
