"When Jesus arrived In Capernaum, a Roman army captain came and pled with him to come to his house and heal his servant boy who was in bed paralyzed and racked with pain.

"'Yes,' Jesus said, 'I will come and heal him.'"

Bible Commentary:  "The Roman army captain could have let many obstacles stand between him and Jesus---pride, doubt, money, language, distance, time, self-sufficiency, power, race. But he didn't. If he did not let these barriers block off his approach to Jesus; we don't need to either."

Thank you, Jesus, that You are approachable and care for each one of us. Not because we are worthy, but because You are who You are---loving and caring. We need You to help us, lead us, guide us, show us the way. You are the great I AM. Amen.
