Hello dear friends. I hope this blog has found you in high spirits and stress free?! maybe? just maybe? Well heres what is on my heart today...
Although all bible stories are amazing I find the story where Jesus heals the Paralytic to be exteremly powerful and touching. Its found in the book of Luke in chapter 5. if you want to look it up or google it :) lolz. anyway what happens is Jesus is teaching the Pharisees and teachers of the law. They are gathered in a house and there are so many people all around the outside of the house too. Basically these guys have a friend who is a paralytic and they believe that if they can get him before Jesus then Jesus will heal him. They couldn't get in the house so.. THEY GOT ON THE ROOF AND WENT THROUGH THE TILES AND LOWERED HIM INTO THE HOUSE!
verse 20 says "When Jesus saw their faith, he said, "Friend, your sins are forgiven".
The faith of this parlytic mans friends moved Jesus to heal him.
I was thinking about this story today and realizing that I have friends like that. I have friends that break me through roofs to see Jesus. They carry me to his feet. I bet I'm not the only one either. I want to be that kind of friend for my friends. A friend that would do something so radical, so daring so their friend could be healed, touched by the king.
On a side note I really enjoy popcorn shrimp.
Kind Regards,
Mary D.
mary- you are that friend :)
