Touched by Grace: How Jesus Heals, Restores, and Fills My Soul
My Lord Jesus, I love you.. because you are the guarantor of an eternal covenant.. the guarantor of my change.. because you sacrificed yourself for me, carrying my missings, shame and humiliation.. on the cross your blood was shed for me.. you were incarnated and humbled yourself… for me.. you sanctified yourself for me so that I might be sanctified in you. You walked miles and miles for me.. for every encounter you made in your life in the Gospels so that you might meet me in different situations.
You met me in the one born blind.. you created two eyes for me and gave me the insight to see.. to see you the Son of Man who came to redeem the world and give insight to the blind like me.
You met me at the well of Samaria with the Samaritan woman.. in my corruption, hunger and search for fulfillment and filling the inner void.. and you gave me to drink from your life-giving water and you burst forth within me springs of living water to heal and quench others..
You met me in the madness of the country of the Gerasenes.. when demons dragged me with thoughts, pains, distress, judgment and conflicting feelings.. with a touch of your hand and a word from you I became wise and guided and went out to tell others how much you did to me and had mercy on me.
I ran after you like the bleeding woman. and my wound was still bleeding from bitterness, pain and exhaustion.. I touched the edge of your garment.. the bleeding stopped.. and you bore witness to my faith and trust in you.
I trusted in you like Jairus to raise the dead around me.. and I still trusted in you to raise them.. You came with me and went to many houses and meetings.. and you commanded, “Rise, my daughter.”.. Awake, my son.. so you raised many from the dead.
You met me as I was going to bury my dead.. and I had lost all hope.. like the widow of Nain.. and you took the initiative.. and stopped the burial group.. and ordered my dead.. to come back to life again..
You met me and you meet me and you will meet me every day in every country and there are many like them.. You are my God and my love and my fulfillment and my satisfaction.. My guarantee and my whole.. the fulfillment of the one who fills everything in everything.. and fills me and completes my shortcomings.. Amen, Amen..
