While he was preaching God's word to them, four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat.
Mark 2:3 NLT
Today, I am that person lying on the mat, and someone I can't see is holding one corner and carrying me.
The sun is behind them, and all I can't make out who it is, and without saying a word, they are carrying me...
This week an envelope arrived with tickets to a church conference.
Generously & anonymously paid for.
In the context of this story I saw this as someone walking alongside me, carrying, sharing the load, but God has prompted me to see this differently.
He has said that I am the one in need, and this is someone carrying me.
Taking me towards Jesus.
Healing,
help
and hope
are found in community, as we walk towards, and at times are carried,
towards,
Jesus.
