God or the universe often works through people and opportunities, not just direct, supernatural events.
We need to stop passively hoping for magical solutions and instead create change through our own actions, appreciate the present, and be the help others need, recognizing that life itself is miraculous and resilience is a powerful force.
This reminds me of a parable.
Raju was a hopeful boy with unshakable faith, but very weak report cards.
Whenever he was asked to study harder, he would smile and say,
“Don’t worry. God is kind. God will help me.”
God, however, stayed silent during exams & Raju failed again and again.
One day, a monk arrived in the village, known for turning comfortable lives upside down. He called all the youngsters to gather beneath the banyan tree. Raju’s father insisted he go.
The monk began a story.
“There was once a farmer with fertile land,” he said, “except for one enormous rock sitting right in the middle of his field. It blocked growth and stole potential.”
The farmer prayed every day,
“God, please remove this rock.”
Years passed. The rock didn’t move.
One day, a traveller stopped, listened, and handed the farmer a hammer.
“Why don’t you start?” he asked. “One strike at a time.”
The farmer laughed. A hammer against a mountain? Still, the next morning, he tried. Nothing happened. Days passed. Weeks passed. Then cracks appeared. Months later, the rock broke apart and the field flourished.
The monk fell silent.
Raju felt the story land exactly where it was meant to.
He understood:
God doesn’t remove stones. God gives tools.
That evening, Raju opened his books, not waiting for miracles, but creating momentum. One page, small effort, one day at a time.
And slowly, the biggest rock in his life began to move and he cleared all exams.
Miracles are all about finding power in personal effort, acknowledging the extraordinary in everyday moments, and understanding that miracles often come through human kindness, persistence, and action, not just divine intervention.
You can be the miracle someone else is waiting for through kindness, and by giving generously.
In 2026, create your own magic, take the small steps, don’t wait for the miracle & stay blessed forever.
