Inspire and comfort. That’s what Your great love does to my heart…
You fill me with hope, and good desires…
You turn my eyes from the muck and mire…
Your love makes me crave goodness…
How I am comforted by the beauty of who You are…
“And so they reached Jericho. Later, as Jesus and His disciples left town, a great crowd was following.
A blind beggar named Bartimaeus was sitting beside the road as Jesus was going by. When Bartimaeus heard that Jesus from Nazareth was nearby, he began to shout out
“Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me!”
“Be quiet!” Some of the people yelled at him.
But He only shouted louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
When Jesus heard him, he stopped and said, “Tell him to come here.”
So they called the blind man, “Cheer up,” they said “Come on, He’s calling you!”
Bartimaeus threw aside his coat, jumped up and came to Jesus. What do you want me to do for you? Jesus asked. “Teacher,” the blind man said,” I want to see!”
And Jesus said to him, “Go on you way. Your faith has healed you.” And instantly the blind man could see!
Then he followed Jesus down the road…”
Mark 10:46-52
May we never ever stop reaching for Jesus..
No matter what the crowds are saying… what our heads are yelling…
May we never. Ever. Never… stop calling out to Him…
Jesus not only heard dear Bartimaeus, but he called him over…
He not only called him over…
He healed Him…
He hears us…
He bends low to our cries…
And sets our hearts free…
Oh, Dear, Jesus..
I need You. I desire to live according to Your will for my life…
Give me the strength to live outside of the shadows…
Desiring to be more and more like You…
Loving. Kind. Gracious…
Serving others instead of myself…
Fulfill in me the desires that You have placed in my heart…
I want to be the very best me I can be…
All for Your glory… All for Your fame…
I ask You this in Jesus awesome name,
Amen
Live in Love,
