AFRAID

The other night we went to dinner with our son and daughter-in-law and the little girls. After we ate, the little ones became bored and started crawling around under the table. I was thinking to myself, O’ God, get up off the floor, they are going to get all dirty and yucky crawling around down there. Sometimes I think we all might be afraid of getting dirty or uncomfortable helping other people or doing the right thing. Remember, Jesus left human beings in charge of his church, and sometimes it may be hard to do the right thing, we may feel like we are stuck in the mud, or under the dirty table. Jesus is right there under that table and in the mud with us in these conditions helping us to get up and out of it. He stretches out his hand to pull us up, we are never alone. All we have to do is call on him if we are stuck in the mud of life. Have you been stuck in the mud? Have you ever been afraid to do the right thing?
