Jesus Heals Us All 

Jesus stood still and called them, and said,
"what do you want Me to do for you?"
Matthew 20:32
Are you waiting for Jesus to heal you? Take hope from Jesus' response to the blind men of Matthew 20:29-34.
     "Have mercy on us, O Lord," they cried.
     "Jesus stood still." He stopped dead in his tracks. Everyone else kept going, but Jesus froze.
Something caught his attention. What did Jesus hear?
     A prayer. An embellished appeal help, floating across the path in the winds if faith and landing against his ear. Jesus heard the words and stopped.
     He still does. And he still asks, "What do you want me to do for you?"
     The duo in Jericho told him. "Lord, that our eyes maybe opened," they said.
     And you? What in your life needs healing?
     Jesus' heart went out to the blind men. He "had compassion and touched their eyes." He healed them.
     He will heal you my friend. I pray he heals you instantly. He may choose to heal you gradually. But this much is sure: Jesus will heal us all ultimately. Wheelchairs, ointments, treatments, and bandages are confiscated  at the gateway to heaven. God's children will once again be whole.
     Because ultimately Jesus heals us all.

私も、そう信じたいです。
お兄ちゃんのために祈っているから。
もうすでに、癒しはお兄ちゃんの内で起きているのかな、、、。
ultimately、私の願いは、この一語をのせた癒しです。
身体のことは、その後ろについてくると思う。
お兄ちゃんの場合ね。
