Even when the way
Goes thru the sunless valley
I'm not afraid
'Cos you are with me
Ps 23
When we're facing hard things, stepping into the unknown, the new...when the road ahead suddenly seems uncertain...the future at best looks challenging...not only have others like the psalmist been there ahead of us, there is one who has faced it all...and says he'll be with us.
We might seem alone.
But we're not.
Alone but not alone.
So reach out your hand, call out to Jesus in whatever circumstances confront...for He is with.

...four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They couldn't bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. Then they lowered the man on his mat, right down in front of Jesus... Mark 2:3-4 NLT Great account of inventiveness and determination to get their friend to see Jesus. Love this. Do you wonder about the back story? Are these the same 4 people who bring this man food? Take him to the toilet every day. Clean him up. Does he live with one of them? Are they family? Are there whole families or groups of people in the background who have supported and cared for this man? A group of children who grew up seeing their parents love in action? Probably. Healing Help Hope These things are found in community. These 4 guys are the heroes here. The upfront people. One day it will be interesting to see who the background heroes are. #loveinaction #community #inthistogether #walkingeachotherhome #gospelofmark
