I tell you the solemn truth, the person who believes in me will perform the miraculous deeds that I am doing, and will perform greater deeds than these, because I am going to the Father. -- John 14:12
Have I engaged in the miraculous recently? To do the deeds Jesus did, the miracle of love? If my actions are simply keeping up to the day to day, I have failed in my higher calling. His greater deeds are not merely works of faith, but also of hope. Of righteousness, peace and joy. May this season of Lent cause me to readjust my priorities along these lines.
Prayer: Jesus, forgive me where I have forgotten your call to higher things. I desire to do greater deeds. Thank you for your promise to do the work if I would simply trust in you. Use my every word, my every moment to do the work of love, hope, faith, righteousness, peace and joy bringing the miracles of these into people around me. Give me serendipitous kairos encounters to be your hands and feet.
