I need a miracle

11:30 AM

Downtown Miami has become like a second home for us. With the year coming to an end, I took a moment to ponder on the incredible moments we've had there. God has blessed us with moments of tears, repentance, restoration, reconciliation and so much more. When I think of all the things God has done, I’m amazed. Monday nights can never be compared to another; they each are different and unique.

This Monday night we had the pleasure of having our sister Paz, give the word (Click here for a clip). It was powerful from the beginning to end. With her message being clear and short, it hit all the right areas that the people needed to hear. “Do you need a miracle?” she repeated throughout her preaching. We all agreed. We need a miracle. The word allowed for all of us to analyze the miracles we wanted to happen in our lives.

I need a Miracle
Personally, the ones I pray for could never come close to the miracles in the hearts of those without a home in downtown. Some of the prayers that they have is to be release from addiction of drugs, alcohol, prostitution, or to simply be reunited with their families once again. But one miracle that captivated me the most was the request of just simply being able to smile again, hug their families again, or to be in the midst of God’s joy.

As soon as the preaching ended, the prayers being made were powerful and full of hope. A circle was made around those that needed a miracle that instant. It was so pleasing to see the encouragement that Jesus poured out that night over all his people. We are all in constant need of God’s miracle, and he will never fall short to give us a good, pleasing and perfect will for our lives.

Sweet little desserts

Shortly after, the preparation to serve food commenced. Everyone formed a line and received a hearty “Cuban” style plate: Rice, beans and a delicious beef stew. Sweets are always distributed afterwards and between you and I, that's their favorite part of the meal. :) For those of us that have a home, we have the luxury of having a delicious baked good as we see fit. However, when you don't have much money in your pocket, most of the time you are left craving these sweet desserts. They all love it when they see boxes of cookies, pies, cakes and much more. We packed up and drove off away from the streets of Downtown Miami.

Each night keeps getting better and better, I see the love that Jesus keeps pouring out and the grace he has over our lives. Who would think, that on a Monday night people would be serving His beautiful kingdom out there? But that’s the God we praise, the one who puts that desire in each volunteer’s heart to go out and serve in body and spirit.

Final Prayers
I encourage you all reading this to take a second and pray for South Florida. Let's pray for all of these people who are struggling. Let's have a heart for others and really make an effort to show them the love of God. Jesus will always supply no matter what and He has continued to do so faithfully. God has a purpose and divine plan. We put our trust and hope in God, that one day Jesus will come and wipe away all the homelessness in this world.

"He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death' or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." Revelation 21:4

God bless you always!
