Faith and miracles

Are there no longer miracles in this world?
We are made by God. On our way in history we lost connection with God. A lot of people have found 
the way back to Him, and therefor know that there is always someone they can rely on. They know the Bible. 
Burning bushes that don't get damaged. Spliting oceans. Rivers filled with blood. Death arise.

But also in modern time miracles happen. It didn't stop at the end of the Bible. Miracles still happen every day !
Look at this man for example. Emanuël Buteau from Haïti. He was trapped for ten days beneath the rubble of his collapsed apartment after the big earthquake. He prayed to God,: "Lord if you want me to die, then I will die. 

If You want me to live, then I will live". What a faith, what a trust!
After 10 days he was saved with minor injuries. His mother went to the site to find his body for his funeral. 

He heard his mother speak of him in the past tense and he called her name. She then called the rescue team. 
Read his story at this site :

Miracles of modern age.
They sure still happen. I am almost certain that everyone has seen a miracle big or small up close. 
Problem is that we drifted so far away from God that we explain these things as supernatural,out of space 
kind of things. Sometimes things can't be explained. Even today, people get up from their wheelchairs
and walk away. Yes, we can call that a miracle. There are many words to describe these things today, as 
long as we don't call it a miracle. That says you are a man or woman of faith and that can't be said out
loud in public.

We are so far away from where we started from. 
Walking in the garden like Adam and Eve with God Himself. And where are we now? Are we still walking 
hand in hand with God? Or are we afraid to show we are believers? Are we building some kind of defense 
so people can't see inmediatly that we walk with God?
People have become so shy. It's time to be proud again to be a believer. That God is in front, beside and 
behind us. That He is the one who protects us and that He still performs miracles as you have read before.
If you think at this moment something like:"oh well, all good and nice, but I don't buy that", then I dare 
you to take a real good look deep inside yourself. I am sure that you will find things you can't explain other 
then there has to be a God walking with you!
