Is God More Willing Than We Think?

Have you ever believed God could help you while wondering whether He wanted to? The man with leprosy brought that uncertainty to Jesus: “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.” Jesus reached out, touched him and answered, “I am willing.”

This short reflection explores what this encounter reveals about the Father’s heart. We can bring Him our uncertainty about His willingness and allow Him to meet us in the very place where we’re afraid to ask.
