Can you find an unconventional way to bring the burdens and the burdened to Jesus?

Key Scripture:
Luke 5: 17-26 [NKJV]
"17 Now it happened on a certain day, as He was teaching that there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of every town of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord waspresent to heal them.
18 Then behold, men brought on a bed a man who was paralyzed, whom they sought to bring in and lay before Him.
19 And when they could not find how they might bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the housetop and let him down with his bed through the tiling into the midst before Jesus.
20 When He saw their faith, He said to him, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.”
25 Immediately he rose up before them, took up what he had been lying on, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.
26 And they were all amazed, and they glorified God and were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen strange things today!”

Have you ever felt like the ‘crowds’ of life are keeping you from a deep, intimate and healing encounter with Jesus? Do you feel like the friend on the mat some days just wanting to get to Jesus? Could you be a friend who can help others get to Jesus? Many of us have had struggles in different areas; those lessons learned could help somebody who is in the midst of a similar struggle right now.

This year, why don't you create a safe space to share.  A place of Prayer, Praise and the Personal; where the personal includes growth, testimonies, advice, encouragement and relationships. Start A fellowship for the many and for the one; if one person has a burden then we all can help either in prayer or for those who have had experience in that area, with the giving of advice.

Luke 5: 20 [NIV]
20 When Jesus saw their faith, he said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”

In the natural, that was the first time Jesus was meeting that man, yet He called him friend. We may not know each other in the natural but because we know and have a relationship with the Savior we are friends, sisters even, united by our big brother Jesus.

That's who we are as Fruitful Sisters.

Can you, like those friends, find an unconventional way to bring the burdens and the burdened to Jesus?
