Sadness lurked over her like a dark, stormy cloud. When days passed without seeing my friend, I became concerned. We pleaded and prayed for new life to grow inside her womb. Yet, before we could dream about what the gender would be or the baby’s hair color, he/she was gone.
Recalling the plight of my friend, I was reminded of a story in the gospel of Luke. Some companions of a paralyzed man heard of the traveling teacher who could perform miracles and knew immediately they needed to get their immobilized friend to Jesus. The Scriptures do not say much about the man, but we can easily conclude that he was in desperate need of healing.
