"I'm Here"

I think there are messages from God everyday if we pay attention. I listened to the radio and heard someone relate a story of how he was attacked by a shark, managed to make it go away after having his leg bitten, struggled toward the shore as he grew weaker and weaker, and called for help. Someone did hear him and swam out to help. As the rescuer reached the man, he said the words "I'm here" and the man knew everything was going to be alright. The words "I'm here" were welcome relief and he was able to calm down and trust he would be helped. The radio host was struck by those two words as they related to something that had happened in his own life recently. He related his story to the audience and then connected it to the 'Miricle on the Hudson' that happened the other day where a pilot was able to land a crippled airplane on the Hudson River with no human casualty; something that, given the traffic usually on the river and the history of crash landings, was indeed a miricle. The whole country was able to witness this miricle as it was reported on the news. It was the top story of the day. He chose to look at it as a message from God to us; assuring us that "I'm here." Some will choose to dismiss it as luck or just the amazing skill of the pilot, but I choose to believe it was more than that; simply for the reason I stated in the beginning. I believe miricles happen everyday. I believe God uses us to answer each others' prayers and we are angels in ways big and small, every day. If we can feel such incredible relief and trust when a fellow human being comes to our aid saying "I'm here", how much more trust can we place in a God who can do so much more than they, as He is constantly tells us, whether it is through a beautiful sunrise or a miricle on the Hudson...."I'm here."
