“I am willing”: The revelation of God’s Heart 11x17
When we speak to others what do we consciously and unconsciously affirm to ourselves? The leper needed to publicly proclaim, “Unclean! Unclean!”, and as he did that what was he affirming to himself? I am unclean, sick, rejected, numb, not enough, broken and stay away. He dressed differently as if he were mourning. He felt lonely, separated, cursed, and shunned. That day the leper heard with his ears Jesus say, “I am willing…be clean”? But what did his heart hear? Love, compassion, authority, hope, desire, forgiveness, and power. Jesus affirmed this by inserting Himself into humanity’s greatest need, He was saying I am willing and able to draw near at any time and heal you. He cares for those who are hurting, and he desires for man to be whole. Enjoy!
