    Carry a Friend to Jesus

    Four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They couldnt bring him to Jesus because
    of the crowd, so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. Then they lowered the man on
    his mat, right down in front of Jesus.
    Mark 2:34
    We all get paralyzed at times. Although we may not be physically paralyzed like the man
    in this Scripture, we may be emotionally or even spiritually unable to move like we should.
    Fears, worries, weariness, discouragement . . . all these things can impede our mobility. But that
    doesnt have to mean were finished. Thats one of the reasons God gives us friends. Through
    their words, prayers, and encouragement, they keep us going when we feel we cant move. They
    can even take us to Jesus when we feel spiritually paralyzed. And in return, we can do the same
    for others. Do you know someone who needs a little help walking? Or maybe who cant see
    Jesus because of the crowds of people or concerns in his or her life? Maybe its time to carry a
    friend to Jesus.
    None of us have to be paralyzed when we have friends.
