Mark 10:46 talks about a blind man. The blind man from Jericho was a beggar and stopped Jesus. Don`t think that you`re an important person because the one who conquered Jesus attention was nothing. Evil tries to make you think the opposite. He says that you`re big and the others like you or not, but your concerns should be the moment Jesus looked at you.

I see so many people complaining about what they have or not, but Jesus is Saint and stopped for a neglected person. He is big. God`s son might have wanted to preach crowds, but stopped for a beggar. That`s the example of faith, value each soul, each person, it didn`t matter who the person was or had. This ministry was set up preaching the gospel at people`s home, hospitals and streets. I never seek position but simplicity because that`s the way Jesus blesses us.

To Jesus it doesn`t matter whether you are rich or poor, well succeeded in life or beggar. He looks at you the same way. Everything was made by Him and to Him. There`s nothing that we can offer which He doesn`t have yet. Everything belongs to Him. Never think that you can give Jesus anything or that you make the difference. He loves you the way you are just different from us. When we love other people, we show our love to God according to Jesus lessons. When someone stops his or her activities to see me or I hug someone, it`s Jesus who stops for my life and shows me how much He loves me. It`s not me who makes people love me or not, it`s Jesus. People realize His presence by my side and like me. That`s the way it should be in your life too. Some of them told the blind man to be quiet, but the blind man knew that he needed God`s mercy. How many people try to vanish His racket and give up hope. You have to be strong with your purpose. Jesus went to Jericho knowing that He would meet this blind man showing each one of us how much worthy we are to Him. No matter who you are. At the present moment they try to keep us quiet whether it is the husband, wife, children or friends. There are many ways the evil tries to use to make you quiet, but when you realize that there`s someone who wants to disturb your relationship with God, intensify your prayers, fast, seek God because Jesus is very close to you. When you seek Jesus and He stops at you, all world stops at you too. Of course you have to know that if we are in a church gathered under the name of Jesus as God`s people worshipping Him, it`s because He had called us before. When Jesus calls you, it`s for you to have good will. If He calls you, nothing can stops you. When He stopped for the blind man, Jesus asked: “What do you want me to do for you?” There was a purpose. Obviously the blindness had caused other problems too. The blind man couldn`t work, he didn`t receive disability retirement pension. He had a lot of things to ask for, but by the moment he heard the question, he was very objective and said that he would like to see. It was everything in his life, to see. Jesus determined the blind man that his faith rescued him. The salvation is not always the salvation of the soul. It`s the deliverance, the salvation of the problems, of pains. It`s the solution for your life.
