The Jar Opener

I love it when the kids prepare everything on their breakfast table, bread, butter, milk, plates, and come to me holding the Jam jar to open it for them. Funny enough, they don’t even approach Aline standing next to them in the kitchen, but run to me wherever in the house I might be. They have no doubt whatsoever that I will able to open this totally stuck clogged Jar lid…obviously they prepared the table except for this jar! That´s the kind of trust that putsme to do all I can to open it

These little creatures´ trust reminded me of that man with leprosy (miracle stated in Matthew, Mark and Luke) who came to Jesus on his knees not only with full trust in His power and reign over his sickness, shame and humiliation…but more specifically came with a heart surrendering to His will.

“And a leper came to Him, begging Him on his knees and saying to Him, If You are willing, You are able to make me clean. And being moved with pity and sympathy, Jesus reached out His hand and touched him, and said to him, I am willing; be made clean!” Mark 1:40-41 AMP
“فأتَى إليهِ أبرَصُ يَطلُبُ إليهِ جاثيًا وقائلًا لهُ: «إنْ أرَدتَ تقدِرْ أنْ تُطَهِّرَني». فتحَنَّنَ يَسوعُ ومَدَّ يَدَهُ ولَمَسَهُ وقالَ لهُ: «أُريدُ، فاطهُرْ!».” مَرقُسَ 1:40-41 

Oh Heavenly Father, how many times in our prayers we approach Your Grace lacking this kind trust and faith. We approach You in doubts…deep down we are not sure You really can make it happen. Let me pray with Jeremiah “There is nothing too hard or too wonderful for You”
(Jeremiah 32:17), sing with David “Great is our Lord, and abundant in His strength” (Psalm 147:5), confirm with Abraham that what “You had promised You are also able to perform” (Romans 4:21)…and Finally scream out loud with the doubting father of the possessed son “Lord, I do believe…HELP my unbelief (help my grow my faith)” (Mark 9:24)…In Jesus name I pray to live your Will, AMEN!

Keep shining my friends!
