Then those who went before him (blind Bartimaeus) warned him that he should be quiet; but he cried out ALL THE MORE. Son of David, have mercy on me! - Luke 18:39
This verse I really like. What if Bartimaeus would have listen to everyone and not cried out to Jesus for his healing ? What if he wanted to please everyone else but himself ? What if he did what they said and just was quiet because he didn't want to ruffle anyone's feathers? But he didn't he cried out ALL THE MORE! ...Because he knew what he wanted for himself. He wanted to be healed.

Why do we care what people think all the time ? I think there comes a point in our lives that we have to do things for ourselves. You can't wait around on others for the rest of your life to change when you are wanting to make a change for the good for yourself. Not everyone is going to CRY OUT ALL THE MORE for you. You have to do it for yourself and not everyone else. Don't cave into others. Stick to what you want in life and don't GIVE UP. What if Bartimaeus would have given up? He wouldn't have received his healing and remained blind for the rest of his life is what. Do you want to stay blind for the rest of your life ? NO not me, I want ALL THE MORE.
Prayer today: God, I Thank you for sending your Son, Jesus Christ for our healing. Healing can come in many shapes and forms. I Thank you that I can change my life even if everyone else around me doesn't want to change for the better. I cry out to you ALL THE MORE because I want better for myself. I want to be healed and changed. So that I may SEE ALL THE MORE. Help me to ignore what others may say or think of me and help me to do this for myself. In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen
