MARK 1:40-42 (2025)

MARK 1:40-42

A leper came to Jesus and begged him, 
“If you want to, you can make me clean.” 
Moved with pity, Jesus stretched out his hand 
and touched him, saying, “I do want to; be clean.” 
The leprosy left the man at once and he was made clean.

---- mine,

Anyone in need of healing, of wholeness, of forgiveness, of restoration in any way - heart, mind, soul, body, and spirit has only to approach Me and ask, just as the leper who came to Me did. I desire that each of My little ones live happy, fruitful lives. This is only possible if you live as you were designed to live, ---- my own. Without a God-connection, without Me, you can do nothing. Life becomes a wasteland, and as you wander further and further away from all that is good, true, noble, and beautiful, you will sink deeper and deeper in the slime of sin, and the more depraved and desperate you will become. But with Me there is always forgiveness and tenderness, mercy, and compassion. Do not be afraid, do not be ashamed, do not allow despair to keep you from receiving all that I want to give. Do not say like the leper, 'if you want to, you can make me clean.' I do want to. I long for the sinner to come home. I long to give to every one of God's children, My brothers and sisters, all that God created them to have happiness in this life and eternal joy with Me for all eternity. Remain in Me, remain in my love, and you will already begin to live in heaven while yet on earth.
