Leviticus 15:1-33; Psalm 119:73-112; Mark 5:21-43

But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost. 2 Cor. 4:3

Why did the Lord not take us to heaven when He saved us? He has left us here to spread the good news of salvation, to a world which is lost in sin and on their way to an eternity without hope. But it is a world which God loved so much, that He gave His only Son to die on the cross so they could be saved from a Christless eternity. Is the world hearing this message from me? Or is this liberating message of deliverance hidden from them because I never open my mouth? Or, tragically, because my actions contradict what I say when I do tell them? —David Croudace

Down in the human heart, crushed by the tempter,
Feelings lie buried which grace can restore;
Touched by a loving heart, wakened by kindness,
Chords that were broken will vibrate once more. —Fanny Crosby
