Before we run, first learn to walk Before seeking more, count our blessings Before we assume, seek the truth Before we are friends, we are strangers Before we say goodbye, say hello. Before we

In Luke's gospel, we read a beautiful account of what friendship looks like. A man who was paralysed and lay on a mat most of his life couldn’t get to the man who could heal him.  Four of his faith-filled friends decided to carry him. They walked carrying him on his mat. It doesn’t say how long they walked. When they got to the house where Jesus was teaching, the house was bursting at its seams.

That Good Friday, car sickness and unfamiliar roads faded as my eyes fell upon fields of lambs. An unexpected ache grew within me, a longing to be near the Lamb of God, a feeling I imagine mirrored in the heart of His beloved, John at the foot of the Cross. O' the horror and beauty. This Holy Week, I'm reminded of that persistent pull towards Him. #HolyWeekReflections #LongingForGod #TheLambOfGod #Faith
