Do you want to be healed? Do you trust that God will meet you in the place where you need healing or where you have dreams left unreached? When a part of us is broken, or we find ourselves battling disappointment, it can be hard to hold onto hope, but the good news is that we CAN trust God with these places in our lives.
In John 5 we find the story of a man who had been paralyzed for 38 years waiting for his healing. Sitting. Waiting. For years. Can you imagine that?? Maybe you can. Maybe there is a situation in your own life where you have been waiting for healing, breakthrough, freedom, or release. Maybe it’s not physical healing you need, but a desire you’ve held onto that hasn’t been met yet. This man knew what it was to fight for hope. Jesus found him in a place of wallowing in doubt and self pity, of looking around at others instead of looking at God. He was sitting in the shadows, but friend, the light is where healing happens! We have a good God and He withholds no good gifts from those who love Him!
Are you willing to do what it takes to move forward in your life? Are you willing to make a change and do what needs to happen? To do something different? To take a chance and risk disappointment? When you are given the opportunity to change are you taking it? This man in John 5 had a choice to make. Jesus extended the invitation, but he had to choose to receive it. It was time for him to get up, look up, and get moving.
God is extending the question to you today – do you want to be well? Now is the time! Stop hiding and start hoping. Stop lying down and start living. Stop accepting being bound and start receiving healing. Come out of the shadows and get up!
