“He answered them, The Man Who healed me and gave me back my strength, He Himself said to me, Pick up your bed and walk!” John 5:11 (AMP)

We all need a helping hand at times, someone to reach down to where we are and pick us up—to help carry the load when the days have left us weary, worn out, and weak at the knees.  Into all of our lives comes this “Man” Christ Jesus, Who empowers us with His strength; fills the broken places with His wholeness; washes away the stresses and strife.  Once renewed, we are able to walk again. The gift of His presence always by our side. 
 
It may be step by tender and tentative step to start, but once you put your hand in His, cherished one, you are on your way! Let this Man, Christ Jesus your Saviour and Lord, walk with you now, moment by mercy-filled moment, and day by precious day.  He will never leave you or forsake you, of that you can be sure. His words will be life, bringing health and healing, as He faithfully, triumphantly, leads the way!
