UNWORTHY
The centurion said to Jesus, “I am unworthy.” What stunning honesty—this is a man who truly understood the grandeur of God and the puniness of humankind. Yet, God Almighty, in the form of Jesus, deigned to not only converse with this Roman, but to grant his request.
Jesus, our Lord and Savior, is also our Brother and Friend—He is perfectly content to meet you and me, on our level, and to listen to our worries, our requests, and our intercessions. Sure, He knows our every need, but He wants to hear it from our lips.
Do we bring to our worship a false humility, or a real understanding of our lowly-yet-uplifted status? Do we get a bit too familiar with the Lord? Or, are we a bit too fearful and keep an unnecessary distance?
Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank You for loving me, for humbling Yourself to die for me, for saving me and inviting me to be a part of Your eternal kingdom. I will praise You every day for you precious gifts to me. Help me to better understand how much You want to hear from me, and how you delight in answering my heartfelt pleas. Amen.
