God's love is so amazing I just want to SHOUT it from the roof tops! Last night at church God revealed His love for me and for all of us in a different light. I was at the altar praying and for some reason I started thinking about the Leper that Jesus touched and he was healed. I saw a play last December about it: they showed how the man's life must have been like, he was separated from his family and loved one's, he was forced to live on the edge of town, no one was allowed to touch him, and probably no one payed him any attention. This could have gone on for years of isolation and being looked down upon, longing to see his children growing up, and to feel the warmth of his wife's skin against his. How miserable he must have been? ( I know it doesn't say this in the Bible, they were just trying get us to relate to the Leper as a human being) The fact is no one was allowed to touch this man, but Jesus moved with compassion did! Imagine how awesome it must have been for this man,not only was someone going against all the rules just to touch him, but it was the very son of God who brought him healing! Jesus is so awesome! I have been a leper in my spirit, but I've brought it on myself... not letting go and letting God. And last night God touch me and moved in me like I haven't allowed Him to in a long time... It's so refreshing, like the leper who hadn't been shown any type of compassion for so long and Jesus reaching out and meeting his need. I so encourage any of you who have a need, something that has been troubling you for so long to let go and let God touch you! |
