Good To Love

From there He arose and went to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And He entered a house and wanted no one to know it, but He could not be hidden. For a woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit heard about Him, and she came and fell at His feet. Mark 7:24-25

Jesus our Lord wanted a break? The stirrings of what we call fame were present long ago. At that time they did not have social media to work with, but the unclean spirits of the time knew when Jesus was around. Did this one tell the woman? The scripture does not say that, but from other incidents in the Bible we know that is a possibility. The important part may be her response though: she came to the Lord and fell at His feet. 

Would this woman have done this to ask a favor for herself? Maybe, other women in the Bible did so. But in this case she had a daughter who needed the Lord in a bad way. The love for our neighbors, especially those close enough to us to be known as children, spouses, or family, may get us away from ourselves enough to do the loving sacrifice on their behalf. It is good to love. 

Have a great March day in our Lord Jesus!
