Yay! It is that time of the week to link up with Kate for Five Minute Friday.This weeks topic-Reach
As I sat here thinking about what to write many things came to my mind....reaching for stars, reaching out to others, and so on. So for a few minutes please excuse my rambling thoughts.:D
First, I was thinking about the story in the Bible of the woman who had the disease of blood for 12 years! One who may have heard from her friends and family about Jesus. One day Jesus was walking through the city, and there was a HUGE crowd of people. With all her heart she knew if she touched the hem of His garment she would be healed--she had FAITH. She did all she could and finally made it to Jesus, and was able to touch his hem. I imagine this woman crawling,pushing, and doing all she could and reaching as far as she could just so she could be healed.This makes me think...am I reaching out to Jesus through hard times in my life.He is there to help and all I have to do it pray to Him.
Second, Jesus reached out to others...He did all He could to minister to them-young and old alike. He reached out to boys and girls. He even told His followers to let the children come to Him. He made the lame to walk, blind to see, deaf to hear, He even raised the dead to life again. He would go to people's home no matter what their life was like...Zaccheus who was a liar and cheater to those around Him. I need to be more like Christ my reaching out and helping those around me.
...And I could go on BUT time is up! Have a great weekend and see you all next week!
Hi there, I am your FMF neighbor! That is a great lesson to learn from the woman who reached--and it's wonderful to know that God is there whenever we choose to reach for Him. Thanks for sharing!
