SEE THE MIRACLE WITHIN TO BE ONE OUTWARD

Jackie Robinson was the first African-American to play major league baseball. 

He was criticized and scrutinized more often than the white players of his time. Though facing jeering crowds at every stadium, he was held to a higher standard.

One day while playing in his home stadium in Brooklyn, he committed an error at second base and the crowd began to ridicule him. 

He stood at that base, humiliated, while the fans jeered. 

Then, shortstop Pee Wee Reese came over and stood next to him. 

He put his arm around Jackie and stood with him facing the crowd. 

Robinson was no longer alone   and the fans grew quiet. 

Robinson later said that Pee Wee's act of solidarity that arm around his shoulder saved his career and gave him the strength to go on.

A simple action, yet it changed a heart!

Are you willing to be that arm of comfort? Are you ready to be that light in the darkness? 

We need to die to self and be open to the leading of the Holy Spirit. If you do, you will be a blessing and in turn be blessed. 

Blessed to be a blessing! 

We are called weak by some; hypocrites by a few others; yet we have to be aware that we are called to hold a higher standard. When the world continues to ridicule and humiliate when we miss the mark, our God has given us a part of Himself, to be our Advocate, our Helper, our Comforter.

The Miracle Within is always there when we need Him the most. The Miracle within is there so we can be a Miracle without.
