Jesus,
I'm continuing my reading in the book of Mark. Today I read of you healing a demon-possessed man, the woman who touched your robe who had internal bleeding, and the man whose daughter was dying. You healed them all. You even had compassion on the demons that came out of the possessed man.
10 Then the evil spirits begged him again and again not to send them to some distant place.
11 There happened to be a large herd of pigs feeding on the hillside nearby. 12 "Send us into those pigs," the spirits begged. "Let us enter them."
13 So Jesus gave them permission... -Mark 5:10-13
It's hard to not let these stories get repetitive. But the fact of the matter is, you went out into the cities and you healed people with diseases and ailments that they thought they would never be cured of. You did the impossible. You gave life to those who thought they were left for dead.
I never want to underestimate or take for granted the real and true and unfailing compassion you have for people. Just the love you show in general.
Help me to focus on your compassion and your love today. Help me to bask in it and praise you for your ability to do the impossible and your desire to see the best for me.
I love you.
Amen.
