What if the next step changes everything?
For 38 years, a man waited by the pool of Bethesda, hoping to be healed.
Then Jesus asked him a surprising question:
“Would you like to get well?” -John 5:6
He had shown up. He had taken that first step. But he was still waiting.
Sometimes we find ourselves in a similar place. Wanting change. Hoping for something different. Unsure how to move forward.
The beautiful part of this story? Jesus met him right where he was.
With his limitations. His frustrations. His imperfect plan.
And invited him into something new.
Let this remind us that Jesus is intentional about meeting us, even in our weakest moments.
Is there a next step you’ve been putting off?
