Testimony 14/01/06: Stay Amazed

Today was my last day in Frankfurt. I wish I could stay longer. In the beginning, I dreaded the trip. But now, I didn’t want to go. Yet. I wish I could holiday here and enjoy the scenery before I leave. But well… this was a business trip.

“Guten Morgen! (Good morning!)” I greeted the receptionist, “I would like to check out the hotel please,” I said.
“Sure,” the receptionist replied.

As she prepared the bill, I looked out the window. There is not even a cloud in the sky. “It is a beautiful day,” I said.

The receptionist lifted up her face.
She shook her head.
“No, no, no,” the she said.

I looked at her. Surprised.

“But there’s not a cloud in the sky,” I said.
“No, no, no. Look at the weather forecast,” she replied, putting before me the weather forecast of the day.

Minus seven.

“Yes… But it’s still a beautiful day,” I insist.
She looked at me in the eye and said “No… It’s gonna be very cold.”

Many people are so used to simply existing they forget to enjoy the small miracles God performs everyday. Just like Max Lucado says, “Rather than shocking the world with occasional demonstration of deity, God has opted to display His power daily.”

Snow. Sun. Wind. Waves. Birth. Death. Life. They are all miracles. The display of God’s love and power. Stay Amazed. Let God surprise you.
