Food For Thought: The Secret to Success

My children in the Lord that I love so much, 1 Corinthians 12:7 says, But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all.

I can truly say that being a child of God has profited me. I was born and raised in Italy. At 21 years of age, I came to the United States. Eighteen years in this country passed and I had not read a book in either Italian or English. I was always depressed with no desire to read. Then I was saved.

The person who led me to the Lord had instructed me to read the Bible every day. Someone had given my son, Anton, an English version of the Bible; it was the only Bible in my house at the time. So, I immediately started reading Anton's Bible; I did so every day. After three and a half months of reading, someone in my family saw me reading the Bible and said, "Who taught you to read?" It took my family member and me by surprise. I was not aware I had been reading English. I said, "Oh God, you taught me to read!" To my surprise, not only was I reading, I also understood what I was reading. This was truly a miracle!

Most of you that need a miracle probably need a miracle different than the one I experienced. I want you to know, as the scripture above says, that God wants to profit all; you are one of the "all." He is able and willing to do a miracle for all, which includes you. He is a Father who loves to do the miraculous for His children.

Begin to say with me, "Because God loves me, all good things are coming to me." After you say that, expect it to happen. This is my prayer for you.

With much love,
