YOU are THE MIRACLE. Your very breath is proof enough!

It was getting dark. Thick clouds hovered over the rooftop. Sarah was pacing up and down, restless.

They were supposed to leave for the village by two in the afternoon; now it was almost five!

Her dad had been adamant that he wouldn't let her go there alone this time.

Something inside him, told him, that he should go along. He decided he would. Nothing would change his mind now.

Sarah didn't want to let it happen; because, since afternoon there has been this restlessness in her heart. She couldn't explain it.

Whenever she tried to picture what she and her friends would do after they reached the village, her thoughts would stop, abruptly. She tried and tried, but she just couldn't picture anything beyond their journey to the village. It was like there was an abrupt ending just before they reached the village.

“Does it mean something is going to happen, something bad?” she shivered at the thought.

No, she wasn't afraid of dying; but she knew, she would never be able to see her loved ones die.

As she thought about it, she sent a silent prayer to heaven.

Right then, she heard Clarke call out, “Guys, we’re ready. Let’s leave.” Sarah took all her stuff and once again, tried telling her dad that he didn't have to come; she’d manage on her own. He wouldn't listen.

They put everything inside the tempo traveler and left soon after.

Everyone was quiet.

Sarah lay down on the seat in the middle of the tempo traveler. She put on her headphones, closed her eyes, and listened to the song “Your Faithfulness by Brian Doerksen.”

As she let the lyrics soak in, she heard the words, “I don’t know how or when I’ll die; will it be a thief, will I have time to say goodbye? I don’t know how much time is left; still I know I can trust Your Faithfulness!” 

She opened her eyes; took a deep breath, and then closed her eyes.

Two minutes later, she heard an unusually loud sound. She shut her eyes tight. She wouldn't open them. And she felt this great peace envelop her, a peace that surpassed all understanding, a peace that guarded her heart and mind completely; she was dead sure that NOTHING would happen to her. 

She was SAFE, Safer than she’d ever been in all her life! She decided not to open her eyes.

But then, suddenly… she remembered.. her dad was in the same vehicle, “what about him!” Without a second thought, her eyes flew open and she saw her dad falling.. falling somewhere! She screamed,”Daaaaad!!”

Her dad got up and said something. She heard his voice. He was alive.

And then it struck her, as her eyes slowly got accustomed to the dark; the tempo traveler they were travelling in, had overturned down a steep slope. It had hit a tree at the end of the slope and stopped.

It was an accident. A terrible one!

As she opened her eyes wider, she was appalled at the sight: She was stuck in the middle of ruins. Everything was broken, damaged, shattered. People were injured. A life was lost.

Only the frame of the tempo traveler remained.

Sarah found her way out of the chaos somehow. Some cars were passing by. They saw the horrific sight and stopped; Men came out and stood there, petrified. They exclaimed in bewilderment, “What a horrendous sight! No one would've survived!!”

Men were talking in whispers; some were loud. All of them, alarmed, shocked, terrified.

Sarah turned and faced the ruins, and as the voices faded, she looked up at the heavens, and she saw black clouds, up above her, thick and smoky, and she saw magnificence and splendor..  Something she’ll never be able to explain.. Words would never do justice..  It was a sight she’d never forget. Ever.

It was like the Owner of the Heavens had stepped down, to PROVE that HE exists.. Overcome by awe and wonder, she fell on her knees. She looked at her hands and feet; No sign of a hurt or a scar or a wound. No, not one!

The windows of the vehicle had shattered. She was standing on broken glass, and yet, she had no scar on her feet. No scar anywhere on her body. It had to be a MIRACLE!

All her life, Sarah had longed to see a miracle, but its NOW that she realized, She HERSELF was the MIRACLE!! Her very breath was proof enough!!

Sarah went on to become a world famous singer. She travels all over the world and sings at concerts where millions of people come to watch her. Her songs were unlike any other song that people have heard. Her songs speak life and peace to the people who hear her. Countless lives are being changed every day.  As she sings, people feel the difference; they are able to acknowledge the existence of something bigger than life itself. Many have started believing in the existence of a Living God. People have found hope, joy, love and life through her songs. She continues to change lives through her singing.

There was a reason why she didn't die in that accident that night. She was meant to change lives, millions of them.

I’d like you to do something now,

Place your hand over your heart. Feel that? That’s called PURPOSE. You’re ALIVE for a REASON!

If you don’t believe in miracles, perhaps you have forgotten that you are ONE!
