Walking in the Footsteps of Christ - Day 6

Day 6

Footsteps:  Jesus was a healer. He touched away blindness and filled withered limbs with new life. He restored the mind and soul. Surrounded by much hurt and sorrow, we can be healers in our own way. Sometimes a kind word and a helping hand are all that is needed.

“And Jesus cast His eyes on the multitude and beheld they were in tears and did look steadfastly upon him as if they would ask Him to tarry a little longer with them. And he said unto them, behold my bowels are Filled with compassion towards you...and the multitude did go forth with their sick and afflicted and their lame and with their blind and with their dumb, and with all them that were afflicted in any manner, and he did heal them every one." (3 Nephi 17:5, 4, 9)

Walking: Ask yourself 5-10 times today, “What would Christ do?” and then do it!

Song: Broken by Kenneth Cope
I LOVE this video, the song and the words of Elder Jeffery R Holland

Broken
Broken clouds give rain
Broken soil grows grain
Broken bread feeds man for one more day
Broken storms yield light
The break of day heals night
Broken pride turns blindness into sight

Broken souls that need His mending
Broken hearts for offering
Could it be that God loves broken things

Broken chains set free
Broken swords bring peace
Broken walls make friends of you and me
To break the ranks of sin
To break the news of Him
To put on Christ till His name feels broken in

Broken souls that need His mending
Broken hearts for offering
I believe that God loves broken things

And yet our broken faith
Our broken promises
Sent love to the cross
And still that broken flesh
And broken heart of His
Offers us such grace and mercy
Covers us with love undeserving

This broken soul that cries for mending
This broken heart for offering
I’m convinced that God loves broken Me
Praise His name my God loves broken things
