THE LORD ALWAYS WANTS

 "And Jesus, moved with great compassion, stretched forth his hand, and touched him, and said unto him, I will, be thou clean." Mark 1:41

During His ministry in Galilee, a leper approached Jesus, begging for His power to heal. "Jesus took pity on him, touched him and said - yes. I want. You are healed. And the leprosy disappeared, and he was healed "(Mark 1: 41,42).

When we realize the size of our spiritual impurities, it is hard to believe that the Lord really cares for us and heals us. Our Enemy wants us to convince ourselves that we have no way, because of the size of our sins. In reality, our impurities are large, deep, constant.

The question of the leper Galileo begins exactly by the confession of his personal impurity. But he did not stay there. He went further and tested the love of Jesus: "If the Lord wills, the Lord can heal me." Jesus' response was and always will be the same: "I will. You are healed. " Our Christian life should not be measured by the size of our faults, but by the size of the powerful and restorative love of our Christ. The Lord always wants.
