But she came and knelt before him, saying, "Lord, help me."
And that's true. There are a lot of hurting, shattered people in this world for whom help is at hand
if they only knew it. The treasure is just waiting to be discovered through our friend Jesus Christ.
Share the Savior!

(Matthew 15:25
NRSV)
Anthony De Mello tells a story about some people who were on a raft off the coast of Brazil.
They were perishing from thirst--for as you know, ocean water is undrinkable. What they did not
know, however, was that the water they were floating on was fresh water. A nearby river was
coming out into the sea with such force that it went out for a couple of miles, so they had fresh
water right there where they were. But they had no idea. "In the same way," says De Mello,
"we're surrounded with joy, with happiness, with love. Most people," he concludes, "have no
idea."
Prayer: Lord Jesus, give me opportunities to share your salvation. Amen.
