One day a leper approached Jesus and immediately fell to his knees in humility and begged the Lord to heal him. He said, “Lord, if You are willing, I can be clean.” Jesus replied in the affirmative, “I am willing.” As He touched the man, he was made clean from his leprosy.

Two elements were present … faith and humility. He KNEW Jesus could do it. He didn’t demand that Jesus do it. He honored the Lord in a posture of worship.

I know as a parent, I didn’t respond well to my children demanding that their supper be on the table or that I immediately go to the store and buy them what they wanted. I was willing, but their posture of humility brought their request sooner and with less drama.
