As I sit here this morning, in my favorite spot, under my favorite light, drinking my favorite coffee and reading my favorite book, I am touched by this Scripture.
Mark 1:40-41 NCV “A man with a skin disease came to Jesus. He fell to his knees and begged Jesus, “You can heal me if you will.” Jesus felt sorry for the man, so he reached out his hand and touched him and said, ‘I Will.’ ‘Be healed!’ Immediately the disease left the man, and he was healed.” (other translations read; “He felt compassion for the man”)
There are a couple of things to take away from these two verses. The first is; “He fell to his knees and begged Jesus.” Have you ever hurt so bad, needed so desperately, or worried so intensely that you have gotten on your knees, tears rolling down your face, and begged for his help?
Second; The man said to Jesus, “if you will, not if you can but if you will. He believed that Jesus could indeed heal him and was politely asking if he would be so willing. Jesus’ response makes me feel warm and fuzzy and brings a smile. I Am Willing!!!
Do you have a need, care, a disaster, a hope, or a dream that causes emotions to boil inside you, fearing an eruption at any time? Take them to the cross! Get down on your knees and open your heart to the one who loves you more than you can know or understand.
He is willing, are you?
I am so happy to be back in sunshine. No, not my weather but my heart and this place with all of you. Thank you for joining me this morning; it’s good to be back!!! Be a blessing and be blessed! ❤️🥰
