Jesus Sees + Retirement Is a Vocation

THOUGHT FOR TODAY #1 + JESUS SAW HER

Read Luke 13:10-17

"When Jesus saw her, He called her over & said to her, 'Woman, you are freed from your disability.'" Luke 13:12

Our Lord sees our pain & knows the heavy burdens we carry on our bent backs. He calls out healing from fear, sorrow, & pain. He offers freedom from crippling sin. We are never invisible to Him."

Prayer:  Thank You, Jesus, for Your eyes of love, hands of healing, & heart of forgiveness. Amen.
