In Acts 3:1-10, Peter and John were entering the temple.  They saw a crippled man begging for money just outside, Beautiful, a temple gate.  Having no money, Peter told him that they had something more and in Jesus’ name commanded him to walk.  And he did.

This passage was pointed out to me in my Bible study this morning.  Pondering over it and thinking, I concluded that I am like Peter.  Now, Now, don’t think I have these healing powers like Peter.  But, I was entrusted with a power like any other Christian on this planet…… Jesus’ Love.  And this Love is more powerful than any crippling illness, depression, or any tragedy in our life.

I possess this love and I am continually weaving it through every stitch of my being.  I want to be someday completely overflowing with His love.  I want God’s light to shine around me, through me and be of me.   And everyday, I purposely get closer to that goal.  See, Peter and John were just mere ordinary people like you and I when they met Jesus.  Jesus taught them many valuable lessons and how to live in and of His word.  They were doing as they were instructed to spread the news and love of  Jesus Christ.

Having the power to heal is one thing…… well… would it be safe to say that the power is the very extension of God’s  perfect love?  My life is the extension of His perfect love.  I look back and I see His love woven into every experience and story of my life.  Perhaps at the time, I didn’t realize or want to believe it, but it was there nevertheless.  So as you read or hear my stories, God’s love reveals hope, trust, guidance, mercy, and  the most compassionate love to the eyes and ears of every person in attendance.  His revelation brings healing, comfort, and hope into so many lives.  So in a way, I am like Peter and guess what…… so are you……

God Bless……
