Fortunately Jesus isn't Tired of the Sick and Tired

S - Luke 7:20-22 (TLJ): "So the men came to Jesus. They said, "John the Baptizer sent us to you with this question: 'Are you the one who is coming or should we wait for someone else?'" Right then Jesus healed many people of their sicknesses and diseases. He healed those who had evil spirits and made many who were blind able to see again.  Then he said to John's followers, Go tell John what you have seen and heard: The blind can see. The crippled can walk. People with leprosy are healed. The deaf can hear. The dead are brought back to life. And the Good News is being told to the poor."

O - Jesus hasn't stopped healing people and people haven't stopped needing to be healed.  The physical healings are only one facet of Jesus' healing people.  It's an important part but not the only one.  Both our physical status and our spiritual status need to see, walk, be made free from life-taking conditions, to hear and to be brought back from the dead.  This is one of the many beauties of Jesus … he comes to bring transformation to all people; a transformation touching body, soul and spirit. He IS the One we're looking for, the One we need.

A - I am so very grateful for the status of my physiology … eyes, ears, legs, overall health and energy are all in the very good category. Of course, this doesn't automatically mean my spiritual condition is the same.  Fortunately, Jesus is not only capable he is willing to engage me and my need, whatever the cause, source or status.  The old song says, "All to Jesus I surrender" … this response must not be limited to what is good, right, active and capable but must include that which is failed, feeble , diseased, dying and/or dead.  All really is all … unto the transformation he intends and I need in all of me.

P - Lord who heals,

I admit that I need you in all of me … unto a complete transformation.  I am not asking for self-help but help.  Thank you for wanting into it all, for asking me/us to surrender it all to you and to believe.  This I gladly do.  I welcome you and your will on earth, in me and through me, like they do in heaven.  Today, I welcome eyes that see, ears that hear, my internal crippledness, leprosy and deadness to be touched by you unto all you've planned, dreamt, died for and got up from the dead for.  I love you back.
