Desperate Faith. This week we see two very different people come to Jesus for help. They could not be more different: One is important, central in community, young. The other is an outcast, old, isolated. But both are desperate for Jesus to heal. Jesus responds to their desperate faith just as Jesus responds to our desperate faith. I pray that you get desperate and hungry for Jesus. So desperate that you don't care what others think about you, desperate enough to pray with a new fervency, to worship with a new depth, to serve with a new love. That's right where Jesus meets you in your faith.
