“Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people.  News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed; and he healed them.  Large crowds from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea and the region across the Jordan followed him.”  Matthew 4:23-25

Dear Jesus, Your miraculous acts of mercy, your adamant preaching of salvation and your tireless training of people, give me my marching orders for life.  I will dedicate myself to relieving suffering, leading people to Christ and helping people grow spiritually.  Then I will know that my life was invested for the greatest benefit of others.  Help all Christians everywhere to focus on these better things.  Your people are each only here for a brief time.  Help us to number our days and use them wisely for eternity.  Amen.

To help people physically and spiritually, what more meaningful life could there be?
