Welcome To Warm Fuzzy Wednesday
At Amy's Place
Cats Are Wonderful Friends
Gentle eyes that see so much,
paws that have the quiet touch,
Purrs to signal "all is well"
and show more love than words could tell.
Graceful movements touched with pride,
a calming presence by our side
A friendship that takes time to grow
Small wonder why we love them so.

If You Are Willing
May 1, 2014
Read: Matthew 8:1-4
Molly wanted her dads help, but she was afraid to ask. She knew that when he was working on his computer, he didnt want to be interrupted. He might get upset at me, she thought, so she didnt ask him.
We need not have such fears when we come to Jesus. In Matthew 8:1-4, we read about a leper who didnt hesitate to interrupt Jesus with his needs. His disease made him desperatehe had been ostracized from society and was in emotional distress. Jesus was busy with great multitudes, but the leper made his way through the crowd to talk with Jesus.
Matthews gospel says that the leper came and worshiped Him (v.2). He approached Jesus in worship, with trust in His power, and with humility, acknowledging that the choice to help belonged to Jesus. He said, Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean (v.2). In compassion, Jesus touched him (leprosy had made him untouchable by the standards of Jewish law), and he was cleansed immediately.
Like the leper, we dont need to hesitate to approach Jesus with our desire for His help. As we go to Him in humility and worship, we can trust that He will make the best choices for us.
What an example this leper is to me, Lord. Give me
a heart of worship, of confidence in Your power, and
of trust that when I bring my needs to You, Youll
make the best choice. May I surrender to Your will.
Let us come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy. Hebrews 4:16
Some biblical scholars say that of all the Gospel writers Matthew seems to have been the most concerned with presenting events in chronological order. If thats correct, then the context of the event in todays text is critical to our understanding. Directly prior to this encounter with a leper, Jesus presented His Sermon on the Mount (Matt. 57). In that timeless message, Christ detailed a challenging, lofty kingdom ethic of loving, caring, and serving. Now, confronted by this leper, Jesus lived out His own teaching by demonstrating love and compassion for one whose disease had absolutely marginalized him (8:1-4). Jesus not only taught these truths, He lovingly modeled them as well.
