Jesus
said, “Who touched me?” When everyone denied touching Him, Peter said, “Master,
there’s a huge crowd around you; all touching you.” (Luke 8:45)
You
can picture the crowd following Jesus; many desperate to get to Him. Jesus was
on a mission to help a young girl who was dying. One woman, who had been
tormented for years by disease, managed to reach through the crowd and touch
the edge of His coat. As Jesus later explained, her faith caused her to be
healed instantly. Notice that, even though Jesus was busy – with lots of people
clamoring for His attention – He stopped and made sure to recognize what God
was doing. And, He took time to love that individual whose life was being
changed. He looked into her eyes.
Will
you do that? No matter what your mission for the day, nor how many people vie
for your attention – will you stay conscious of what God is doing around you?
Will you stop and relate to the people involved until His work in you, and in
them, is completed?
Stay
alert each moment. Find the person God is calling you to help. Look into their
eyes and stay with them until His work is done.
