Miracles can look very different from different perspectives. The miraculous may even occur in the midst of great devastation, making it a bittersweet experience.
- Can you think of a time when you experienced something that you described as a miracle, although there were some agonizing circumstances? Have you ever experienced something that was certainly a miracle from your perspective, but not necessarily the perspective of others? Describe your experiences in your workbook.
- How do bittersweet miracles impact your view of God and your faith in Him?
