Restoration

Was at cell meeting and we were sharing on the Consolidation Book and talking about this story about this Chinese man who was stuck in a pit, almost drowning in mud and cried out to someone to help him. He approached Confucius and Buddha but did not find real help. Suddenly, someone approached him and He was different from the rest. In His face were marks of suffering. He was Jesus and lowered Himself to where the man was and picked him to where He was and took him in His arms, lifted him up and brought him out of the pit. He then fed the man and laid him to rest and said, “Son, from now on, we will walk together.”

What a touching and sweet story ….

Would our lives be exemplary of this Jesus who modeled for us what it meant to get someone out of the mud, who is stuck in a pit? Do you know of someone in that situation? Perhaps, we could be Jesus to them by feeding them, laying them to rest and walking this difficult and painful journey together with them. Thank God for the Body of Christ because I once again experienced a wonderful and HUGE provision of God through His child today – YES!! $$$ again! I know that this love gift came timely for me to bless others whom I know needs this blessing more than me…. God is Jehovah Jireh, OUR PROVIDER!!
