[Matthew 8 – from The Message]

As you walked this earth, you healed it. Those who came asking in faith, received. Listening to these stories gives me hope.

I want to be fixed . . . of course; you want to transform. It’s not just about getting well, it’s about living well. And that would change me, not just my situation.

I need the transformation in order to desire the transformation – a catch 22 that holds me hostage. Following is no easy thing.

When you make my pigs dive off the cliff, I really just wish you’d go away.

[chapter 9]
