Mark 7:24
Jesus entered a house and wanted no one to know about it, but he could not escape notice.

It’s very refreshing to realize that Jesus did not want notoriety. He did not strive for the spotlight of stardom. His mission was to heal and to restore people to wholeness and community. The message was not that people should simply come to him for a “presto” healing and be on their way as though He was Santa Claus. The message was that God wants to be with you in your brokenness, loves you unconditionally and wants to lead you to healing and wholeness. In my life…it was God’s intimate embrace during my struggles that transformed me. The journey itself is intertwined with God…so that we live the answers and are healed as we continually grow in Christ. As writer and retreat leader Paula D’Arcy said, “God comes to you disguised as your life.”
