Amazed by Our Creator

“Which is easier: to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, take your mat and walk’? But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth for forgive sins…” He said to the paralytic, “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.” He got up, took his mat and walked out in full view of them all. This amazed everyone and they praised God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”

Mark 2:9-12

Yesterday, on the way to church, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed with life, a little beaten and battered by the battle that we fight every day for the cause of Christ. I am not sure why I was feeling this way; however, during the worship service I was renewed! I left church with a feeling of new hope and new excitement for living my life for Christ. You see, I had prayed for direction and refreshment from God in particular yesterday morning as I felt as if I was on my last leg for some reason. As he always does, God came through. He gave me the wisdom and direction to keep running the race and not to give up. He explained to me through the words of Dr. Moses my tendency to want to throw in the towel when the pressure is on as a result of difficult agreements and experiences that were made as a young man growing up in a very dysfunctional family. After confessing this broken area of my heart to God and holding it up to His healing and loving touch in a quiet moment of communion with Him I felt completely renewed and re-energized to continue on in this race of knowing and loving Him and letting His love overflow from my heart to friends and colleagues and lost people all around who have a desperate need for the love of my creator and friend. God is still in the business of healing and forgiving today! I am so amazed by His love, His grace and His power to restore our hearts back to sweet communion with God which is the only thing that can set our hearts free. Surrender your heart to the healing touch of our Lord and Savior today.
