Learning Along The Way

Imagine Relief

By

Reading His Word this morning I found myself on a road in a crowd of jostling people…

if only I could touch the hem of his cloak

I felt the desperate urgency of a timid hand reaching, knees bent low, face turned up watching…

I know I will be healed…

Immediately.

Who touched my cloak?

Sarcasm from the men…You see the crowds pushing and ask Who touched you?

I did. I was on that dusty, crowd filled road. I felt her relief.

Can you imagine? The shame? The harm suffered at the hands of many physicians who didn’t have a clue why or what to do? The financial drain? The physical drain?Her desperate need was her motivation to reach out and touch, not be a bother,

just the hem of His garment would be enough

Relief. Immediate relief.

It’s the same today.

Just a touch of His Presence brings peace. comfort. healing.

Wounds that have bled inside hidden from the world for more than her 12 years

Heart wounds inflicted intentionally

Soul wounds at the hands of others

Whatever your need…

reach out and touch Him.

The Kingdom of God is at hand…

 

Sunflower Life Lesson #1 –Desperate

By

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I showed you this picture yesterday.  I was struck by how desperate this sunflower was to point toward the sun.

 

This plant absolutely twisted its stem into a crook shape to face its head upward.  That took a lot of the plant’s energy.  But because it’s in a growing season, the plant didn’t even stop growing!

 

Are my daily time investments keeping my head upward?

 

I wonder…how desperate am I to point myself, to reorient my life, no matter what, toward the Son?

 

Do I hunger and thirst for a right relationship with God or am I just saying ‘I’ll get to that later when my to do list is complete’?

 

Some questions are rhetorical; asked for the sake of discussion without having or needing an answer.  Some questions are direct and in need of answering.

 

These questions need my attention.  They need your attention for your life, too.

 

How desperate are you?  Enough to change your whole life focus?
