You Are a Miracle From God

There are some stories you can tell with a smile.
And then there are stories you can only tell because you survived them.
Most of us have chapters we don’t talk about much.
The nights we cried when nobody knew.
The prayers we whispered when we weren’t sure anyone was listening.
The seasons when we smiled and said, “I’m okay,” even when we weren’t.

Some things change you.
Some things break your heart.
And some things make you wonder how you ever made it through.
But then one day, you look around and realize…
You’re still here.
Maybe you’re not completely healed.
Maybe you still carry scars nobody can see.
Maybe there are parts of your story you still don’t understand.
But you’re here.
And sometimes, still being here is a miracle in itself.

The psalmist said:
“I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.”
— Psalm 118:17

He didn’t say the journey would be easy.
He said, “I shall live.”
That’s where redemption begins.
God doesn’t erase every painful chapter.
Sometimes He takes the broken pieces
and writes something beautiful with them.
The wound was real.
The tears were real.
The pain was real.
But so was God’s faithfulness.

Maybe you’re somewhere between the breaking and the rebuilding.
Between the hurt and the healing. Between the question and the answer.
God is still working there, too.
So if all you can do today is take another breath, take it.
If all you can manage is one more step, take it.
Keep going.
Because you are not your worst day. You are not your scars.
And you are not the chapter that almost broke you.
You are a life God has preserved.
Your story isn’t finished.
You’re still here.
And maybe that’s the miracle you’ve been overlooking.

“You DO know what happens to a poor little suffocated caterpillar BEFORE he breaks free into a beautiful butterfly.
Yeah. He is confined to a cocoon. Hot. Stuffy. Lonely. The lights have long since gone out. I can’t ask the caterpillar, but I assume it is NOT a pleasant experience.
Much like our trials on this life journey.
I don’t know if caterpillars have anxiety, but maybe. I mean, it seems like a legitimate situation for the breeding ground of anxiety.
Does the caterpillar even realize what the cocoon is producing in him? Does he know deep in his little caterpillar heart that better days are coming? Does he know that the cocoon is actually a shelter while he grows? Does he know he is destined to become a beautiful, soaring, fearless butterfly?
So, perhaps that thing you thought was destroying you is actually saving you—preparing you, growing you, changing you.
A metamorphosis from pain to purpose.
From ashes to beauty.
From caterpillar to butterfly.
I think the very coolest part of the butterfly’s transformation is this—the cocoon gets left behind “in the dirt,” never to be of use again. Ever.
The long, dark night finally ends. Morning has come. The cocoon is left behind, and a beautiful new creation emerges.
Fly, little butterfly.
It is time.”
—Inspired by Corine E. Channell’s “Butterfly Wisdom”
