He is Willing

1 When Jesus came down from the mountainside, large crowds followed him. 2 A man with leprosy 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

Matthew 8:1-3





Don’t you know today that God is willing to heal your brokenness; to cure your sickness; to help you through your financial difficulty; to repair your broken relationship with your spouse or loved one or friend or colleague; to redeem you from that secret sin or addiction that has been haunting your soul and holding you captive; to meet all of your needs and to provide for you and your family – God is willing to do all of these things and actually our Father is waiting anxiously to step into your life in ways that you could not even imagine. Have you invited Him into your circumstance? Have you considered that He is the creator of all things, that He is the Master Healer and Master Sculptor and the architect of your soul? Have you knelt before Him much like this man with leprosy did so many years ago and asked Him if he was willing to come into your life and to come into your circumstance in such a way that his Almighty Power is revealed to the world around you? I have – time and time again in this life. I have invited Jesus into my circumstances – into my marriage – into my career – into my relationships – into my sin and addictions and He has always shown up in ways that to this day still blow me away. Let our Father in Heaven blow you away with His love today. He is willing – kneel before him today in the midst of your circumstance and just see what He will do!
