This passage has one of my favorite stories about Jesus. He heals a man who needs it, but first asks – "Do you want to get well?" I think this is a question we all must ask ourselves and those with whom we work. Do you want to get well? What a tremendously simple yet profound question. Many people don't realize that this is the first step – you have to want to be well. Some of us just lack the commitment necessary to really follow through with our restoration process. We are not meant to carry sin or insecurities or infirmities. We are supposed to be free and healthy – spiritually and physically. We are supposed to have all of these things – but first, "do you want to get well?"
