Many of us feel we need to do BIG things in order to serve Jesus. Not so!Adding a few thoughts to the StoriesOfJesus.org site today I thought about the guidance Jesus gave his newly called 12 Apostles: Even giving a small child a cold glass of water, if done as a follower of Jesus, to serve him, that small act will be rewarded as righteousness.storiesofjesus.org/jesus-empowers-and-sends-the-12-apostles-to-preach-heal-and-serve/Let's just keep doing the little things that help - just because we try to follow Him.

This story of Jesus has several aspects that make it a favorite on StoriesOfJesus.org. The four who brought their friend to Jesus didn't give up when they found the way too crowded. They found a way to the roof, broke it open, and lowered their friend. That's friendship - and faith! Next, Jesus could have healed the man and it would have been amazing, but he did something else first. Jesus taught that what the man needed more, and we all need, is a forgiveness of our sins. Jesus first forgave the man his sins and then He healed him. Sometimes getting to Jesus is harder than we hoped. Sometimes He doesn't immediately give us what we think we need. But He will always give us what is best, and that ends up being more than we thought we wanted.
