Today I witnessed people carrying a friend's "mat." And it was good.
You may know the story from Luke 5:8 A paralyzed man's friends are so committed to getting their friend before Jesus that they made a way... despite obstacles.
"When they could not find a way to do this because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus."
Their faith moved Jesus so much that he forgave the man and healed him.
The moment that the need arose this morning, there was an instantaneous response of what are the needs and how can I help? Meals were organized, medical supplies purchased, groceries picked up, visits popped up.
No formal committee vote, no resistence. No second thoughts. Just love. Just that simple. Just that good.
I like to be around mat carriers.
