“I am willing”
Right away a man with leprosy came up and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”
Reaching out his hand, Jesus touched him, saying, “I am willing; be made clean.” (Matthew 8:2-3)
It never ceases to amaze me how merciful and gracious Jesus is towards me.
No matter how “unclean” I am because of my sin, whenever I come before him asking for forgiveness, he touches me, and says, “I am willing. Be made clean.”
He’s not always chiding me, saying, “Again?!”
But as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove my sin from me.
Lord, thank you for your constant willingness to forgive me, to cleanse me. May I be like you, extending that same mercy and grace to those who hurt me. I want a merciful heart like yours that says, “I am willing. I forgive you.”
