While he was in one of the cities, there came a man full of leprosy. And when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and begged him, “Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.” And Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I will; be clean.” And immediately the leprosy left him. And he charged him to tell no one, but “go and show yourself to the priest, and make an offering for your cleansing, as Moses commanded, for a proof to them.” But now even more the report about him went abroad, and great crowds gathered to hear him and to be healed of their infirmities. But he would withdraw to desolate places and pray. (Luke 5:12-16 ESV)
Lord, if you will, you can make me clean!
What a prayer!
We often say that we want Jesus to heal a friend or ourselves. But how do we ask?
Jesus please heal me or my friend…
Give them health…
Why do we not give Jesus glory and ask for our salvation? We just lose sight in our hearts and minds who Jesus is, and what He has already done for us.
He can and will heal us, if we will but make ourselves open and available to His healing…
So will you open yourself to the healing that Christ will give you?
