The Miracle: Salvation

Greater than the miracle of creation, greater than the miracle of birth. Such a miracle it is—salvation! And, oh, how my heart yearns to see this miracle take place in hearts everywhere. This yearning is what drives me—it's what catapults me from the natural to the supernatural when my flesh screams "No!" I thirst after it! I hunger for it! I crave it! I long to see souls saved, to see this explosion of transformation take place in the hearts of people, transforming old lives into new.

I am only one ordinary woman who serves one extraordinary, miracle-working God. He who created the universe, who became the incarnate God in flesh through the miracle of Jesus Christ, He is the author of this great miracle of salvation. And, He is the one who can take a yielded heart of an ordinary woman, send her on adventures across the globe, speak through her yielded tongue, and through her bring forth new life—the miracle of Salvation!

What is it that drives us? What is it that causes us to ache to see souls saved? I can only compare it to one thing: it is akin to that innate desire in a woman to bear a child in her womb, giving birth and nurturing her own child. This desire to see the miracle of salvation is a holy desire, one put in the hearts of all who are called by His name. The feelings are so similar—an empty womb crying out to be filled is like a heart crying out to be used by God. Only He can fulfill such a yearning. Only God can bring forth new life.

As women, we were created to be bearers of life. God created Eve as a "womb-man" or a man with a womb. Her ability to give birth is what distinguished her from her male counterpart. God created her to have emotions and sensitivities different from man because she would need them to bring forth life from love.

The question is, are we bringing forth life from our love affairs with Christ? Are we reaching out and sharing this miracle of salvation with others? A love affair with Christ should produce life in us. The more deeply in love with Him we are, the more our spiritual wombs cry out to be filled.

Be a bearer of life. Be a birthing partner with Christ. Allow Him to use you as He brings forth new life through the miracle of salvation!
