Jesus Heals You = J.H.Y

Oopsie... sorry this is late~~ But J.H.Y are my initials. How awesome is that??!

Lk 18:31-18:43
Just within this past month I had a chance to share the gospel with two of my non-Christian friends. They didn't really say "I believe!" on the spot, but I'm thankful that they now know what the message is about. This got me thinking about the attitude of our hearts when we encounter Jesus. The blind beggar was desperate... and obviously, not being able to see must be pretty frustrating. When he shouted for Jesus, Jesus' followers told him to shut up.

One time, I was getting haircut, and the haircut ahjooma kept asking me about church and God and stuff. I was tired and I don't like talking when I'm getting haircuts, so I tried my best to show her that I don't want to talk. The whole time I was sitting there, I just kept on thinking "argh.. just cut my hair!" Couple days later I realized just what kind of terrible thing I'd done. I was no different than Jesus' followers from today's passage, who rebuked the blind beggar.

Jesus likes hungry hearts, because when hungry hearts are fed, they worship and obey (and follow). The blind beggar, upon receiving his sight, praised and followed Jesus. But what about me? Am I hungry too?

I want to make it my application to talk to (and pray for) the hungry friend I shared gospel with, but I know it'll be a very difficult application.
