Jesus’ Love

TENDER JESUS, thank you that although we may sometimes feel that we are an inconvenience to people around us, we are never an inconvenience to you.

Many years ago, your disciples were leaving Jericho with you. When two blind men heard that you would be passing by, they began shouting, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!” But when the crowd around the two men yelled for them to be quiet, the two only yelled louder.

I love what you did next. You stopped and asked the blind men what they wanted you to do for them. When they answered, “We want to see!” you felt sorry for them, touched their eyes, and gave them sight. And the men followed you.

What hope and comfort these words bring us today. Regardless of what others around us think or how they treat us, we are never a bother to you. Quite the opposite! You stop for us, you listen to us, you feel for us, and you help us. What a wonderful helper and Savior you are, offering compassionate care. Our natural and loving response is to follow you.
