These were Jesus’ words as He preached in the towns of Galilee, establishing the characteristics of His Kingdom.
Many years ago, I received a vision of this Christ, standing before all with hands opened, beckoning for us to come to Him. I can always see it in my mind’s eye. It’s a vision of a compassionate shepherd, ready to receive us when we’re burdened, infirmed, discouraged, weak.
He’s always there.
DAILY PRAYER: Thank You, Lord, for Your gentle, humble nature. Make us like You. We want to show Your love to this world.
DAILY READING: Matt. 11-14
Amen! I see the Lord with outstretched arms too, inviting me to come with my needs and pain!
