Matthew 11:28 "Come to me all you people that are tired
and have heavy burdens. I will give you rest."
Daisy came into the den last night and started to climb into
my lap when I realized she had blood above her eye and that blood was on the
arm of my chair. Thankfully the chair is
leather. I immediately started looking
for the source and discovered it was the edge of one of her ears. Who knows what happened. Maybe she just
scratched it too hard or maybe she went outside and had a run in with one of
the neighborhood cats that come into the yard.
When I tried to use a damp paper towel to clean her up and stop the
bleeding she didn’t want to come to me.
Usually there’s nothing she likes better than attention. I’m thinking that we do that with Jesus. Even though he offers us healing, when we
sense he might want to fix something in us we back away. It’s ok to be with Jesus if we just want to
praise him or hear how much he loves us.
But we resist the Great Physician at times, too. It is best for us to recognize when we do
that and let Jesus have his way. It’s for our own good.
Holy God, help us to submit to the healing power of your Son,
the Great Physician. We ask in his name.
Amen.
Happy Wednesday!

P.S.
Daisy is fine now.
