My Miracle

In 1 Nephi 20 from the words of Isaiah, I ask myself some questions as the the Lord says that He showed His miracles, or fulfilled His words " suddenly " that people could not profess that their idols had made the miracles or fulfillment happen.... In my life ; As I have seen the fulfillment of His prophesies in the scriptures, or as I have seen miracles, I consider if I account them as  coincidence, chance, or perhaps I give the credit to another person besides God?  When miracles, manifestations of fulfillment, answers to prayers, or good things happen , do I allow my faith to grow because of them?  When I am given a tender mercy do I allow it to ignite a stronger effort to serve my God whom has been so merciful to me? Do I know that it was God, give thanks and share in order to help grow others faith as well?   3 Behold, I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I showed them. I did show them suddenly.  4 And I did it because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;  5 And I have even from the beginning declared to thee; before it came to pass I showed them thee; and I showed them for fear lest thou shouldst say—Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image hath commanded them.  6 Thou hast seen and heard all this; and will ye not declare them? And that I have showed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them. I was given a marvelous miracle that was a blessing and tender mercy in my life recently.  The way that this blessing came was sudden and in a way that I could not deny that God was involved. It has grown my faith and I document in hopes to ignite us all with desires that lead to the action of showing Him that we love Him through behavior. On a recent visit to SLC I was walking across the street and I was stopped abruptly in thought that " You know that person". I asked the person his name which had come to my mind before he said it and at that moment a small connection was made that weeks later would allow a desire of mine to be fulfilled.  After talking with childhood friends about this mutual past acquaintance of ours,  they told me of his great character and mentioned that he outwardly professed a love for scriptures as I do on FB. We became friends on Face Book and I learned that he is friends with Elder Callister.  On the exact day last week that I realized that I should have my friend pass a thank you letter onto Elder Callister, this friend ran into him on the street and decided that he should allow me to talk to Elder Callister on that very day over the phone. He called me and handed the phone to Elder Callister. It is not chance that the very day that I had been preparing a thank you letter in my mind, I was able to talk to Elder Callister by phone and thank him by speech and with response instead. I  thanked Elder Callister for his worthiness to receive promptings from the spirit for his writings and talks that have changed my life.  I know that my loving Father in Heaven allowed me to be prepared for that short conversation and that He knew would strengthen my faith.  I feel the hand of God in my life daily and I desire to show Him through action just how thankful that I am by praying sincerely out loud and with listening ears, and by keeping the priority of teaching the gospel to my children first and foremost. Lastly and most important by keeping my temple covenants. I say this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
