Do I Wish To Get Well?



John 5:6


When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had already been a long time in that condition, He said to him, "Do you wish to get well?"


*
Jesus sees all of us in our own conditions deep down in our hearts. He truly
cares for each one of us and tends to our needs personally. He will offer us the
solution to move us forward from our own stagnation, but many times we do not
respond correctly to His invitation.



All along, Jesus had been asking me, "Do you wish to move on
from your situation/issues?" I wonder if I had truly answered Him with a
clear "YES!" or not? I hope my heart was not like this invalid where I
begin to list out my own excuses and complaints rather than with a loud
amen to His invitation and jump up and join Him. Jesus, I want to move
beyond my problems at church into Your awesome and wonderful plans and vision.
