cripple us so often. Jesus is the solution of our lives. He has
the power to heal and restore your life so beautifully that
you and people around you will be amazed. When you meet
Jesus or when Jesus meets you, He will put an end to your
pain. He will meet you at your exact point of need. He will
bring you into an experience of victory. You will be imparted
with life, wisdom, and you will be so amazed that worship
will overflow from you to God in celebration of His love and
compassion toward you and mankind.

stood still. He said, "Young man, I say to you, get up!"
