Presenting ...
... a weekly letter of encouragement.

Good Morning!
GOD HELPS THE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN DESPERATE NEED:+
A sinking ship - "Master, we are perishing!"
A naked maniac - "And seeing Jesus, he cried out
with a loud voice..."
A dying daughter - The father "fell at Jesus'
feet and began to entreat Him..."
A bleeding woman - She "came up behind Him and
touched the fringe of His cloak..."
All helpless -- and in grave need of the Master's
touch.
"Man's extremity becomes God's opportunity"
The Gospels are silent however, about any dramatic life changes
among the faceless masses who seemed to view Jesus simply as a
nice idea. To them, observing and being around
Christ was something like a spectator sport.
"WATCH BUT DON'T GET TOO INVOLVED."
By contrast, Christ extended His compassion to those souls
fortunate enough to have run out of options -- people who were
at the end of their rope.
So:
- The ship made it to shore.
- The maniac found healing and peace in Christ.
- The dying daughter was restored to full health.
- The woman's bleeding was stopped.
Today, if you are in serious need of the Master's healing or
helping hand, understand that He awaits your cry for help.
By faith appropriate Him now.
My prayer is that you are having a great week!
