If ever I (we) need(ed) JESUS, the MIRACLE WORKER - it is now and has been most of 2023
I have a feeling that it's not just me, or my family; but many of us that have, and are facing battles, and daily struggles are mounting in our lives at a rapid rate, seemingly increasing each and every day. So let's call on our Miracle Worker - JESUS, to turn our lives around.
This week, we come to JESUS, the Miracle Worker - as "The Great Empathizer" and HE IS!

#16. The Great Empathizer
The definition of "EMPATHIZER" is exemplified in JESUS but here is what one source says"
| Being an empathizer means you are able to easily identify and understand others' thoughts and emotions. You have a natural ability to detect others' intentions and emotions, even when they are being hidden from you |
JESUS

"Divine Excitement" ["Jesus gets excited when He sees our faith."] "Faith to Approach Jesus" Mark 2:4 NLT; Mark 2:5 "An Unlikely Remedy" "God Shows His Faithfulness" Mark 2:12 MSG "Why I am a Christian" |
| "Jesus Christ is not remote, detached, and disinterested, nor insulated and isolated from our lives. He knows our frame; He knows that we are but dust. He can see in us a reflection of what He experienced as a man. He can thus extend mercy to us, completely understanding what we are going through." John W. Ritenbaugh |
My only answer was because Week 16 - is the one that I'm reading this particular week. So I was thinking about a repost AFTER perhaps if there are any new outstanding, personal insights. When I do these blog posts ahead (BEFORE reading), I don't look ahead to give you what the author writes, which means that this way, I don't take away from my actual reading of them each day; and I refrain from too much being shared from the book & possibly infringing on copyright. I really try not to do that at all but you never know. By doing it BEFORE, you get my own ideas and thoughts ahead of reading. As you can tell, I've decided to continue sharing on the week that I'm reading. However, you could also get the book & read along with me.😉💙😏
Harvest House Publishers sent me weekly snippets of these devotionals and recently sent me another opportunity to read "52 Weeks Through the Bible" also by James Merritt (which I think I just clicked on it & signed myself up for it unintentionally - because I was hoping to share the offer somehow with you) but I clicked on Sign Me Up rather than To Learn More. The links I've put here are for you to add your email if you're interested. I'm not sure how I was added at first. I did 100 prayers.
