We read one of my favorite passages of scripture last night. It is the account of the friends who carried their paralyzed brother to Jesus for healing....when they couldn't find a way in through the door, they tore the roof off the place :) When Danielle starting reading the passage, Karly leaned over to me and whispered, "Oh, I love this story!" ME TOO....SO MUCH! I love the loyalty and friendship they showed....they had a determined faith and awesome love....and I love Jesus's response to the situation. All accounts of this event say, "When He saw THEIR faith".....we really don't know whether or not the man had faith at that point, but we know his friends did.....seems to me that the faith of his friends was just what Jesus was looking for in order to heal the man.
That should be extremely great news! When we bring others before Jesus....it could be that our faith.....our devoted friendship coupled with our faith.....is just what Jesus is looking for to give them healing. Don't give up finding ways to pray for them. Even if they feel hopeless or are lacking in faith, your faith can be strong enough to carry them.
