Jesus meets the man sick for 38 years He asks, “Do you wants to get well.”

The man gives excuses why he is not well. (John 5:1-7)

Jesus says, “Get up, pick up your mat, and walk.”

The man had been laying around for 38 years, obviously someone was bringing him food and water to survive.

But now, he was going to need to learn a trade.

Because God gave me 5 new vertebrae taking away 28 years of constant pain and nerves to give me muscle: I am in the process of learning a new trade. It started little.

 I asked, “God,Teach me how to clean my house.”

This sounds like a funny request, but I had been a slave to pain for so long I didn’t know how to start.  My eyes focused on an item, I Knew, pick it up and put it away.

Message received.

I needed to step up and do what I couldn’t do before.

God Is Very Good!
