God is Willing

This morning I was reading Matt 8:1-3 - the story about the man with leprosy. 


 ^1" When Jesus came down from the mountainside, large crowds followed him. ² A man with leprosy^[a] came and knelt before him and said, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”
 ³ Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy."


I was meditating on the fact that Jesus healed every person who came to Him.  How great would it be if we could literally come to Him today - like this man did in scripture.  As I was thinking this - I realized that we, as the church, have been called to represent Jesus to the World so that they can approach Jesus for healing, just as the man did in this story.


Lord help us to better represent You to the World.  Your answer to the question - "are You willing" is always yes, help us to walk in the integrity, intimacy and power to demonstrate this to the World.
