Mark 1:29-31 29 As soon as they left the synagogue, they entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30 Now Simon's mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they told him about her at once. 31 He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up. Then the fever left her, and she began to serve them.
I wonder what it felt like for Jesus to take you by the hand - to feel his healing power move through your body transforming you into health? What an experience. Perhaps you don't have to imagine so much, but can remember a time when Jesus transformed something in your life either physically or spiritually. What I love about this story is that as soon as she is healed, she serves them. So this is what you do after Jesus transforms you! :-)
Follow her example and look for opportunities to serve others today!
