In Mark 5:23 we meet Jairus—a leader of the synagogue—one of the most important men in the community. But the man in this story is a humble man, saying again and again, “My little daughter is dying. Please come and put your hands on her so that she will be healed and live.” He doesn’t barter with Jesus. He doesn’t negotiate. He doesn’t make excuses. He just pleads!
There are times when everything you have to offer is nothing compared to what you’re asking to receive. What could a man offer in exchange for his child’s life? So there are no games, no haggling. Jairus asks for help. Jesus, who loves the honest heart, goes to give it. And God, who knows what it’s like to lose a child, empowers His Son! ~Max Lucado
God feels our pain!
Yesterday I had lunch with my little sister and her family it is hard to see the aftermath of losing a child to cancer evident even now in her other children 9 years later. My heart bleeds for her and I truly feel her pain so does our heavenly Father. He also lost a child just like us.
Be blessed and be a blessing!
