Reading: Luke 8:40-56

“Leave us,” Crowd A begged in verse 37.

Blind, ungrateful, fearful ignorance.

Deliver me from that!

I want to be like this instead:

“And it came to pass, that when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him” (40).

That is my choice.

I choose to wait for Jesus.

I choose to receive Jesus.

Gladly.

How then shall I live?

I want gladness and glad waiting for Him in my personal quiet time.

I want gladness and glad waiting for Him in the corporate services I attend.

I want gladness and glad waiting for Him all the time wherever I am.

Waiting — for Him to be with me, for Him to speak to me, for Him to do for me, for Him to lead me.

[Trouble not the Master (Luke 8:49)?!?!?!?!?!]

from Luke 8:49

A little bit more from Luke 8: Comfort. Faith. Wholeness. Peace.

Surely you could add something...
