Who's In Your Corner

In today’s key passage, Jesus tells the formerly paralyzed man that he got better because of the people in his corner. Their faith, their commitment, and their determination was the anecdote that enabled him to come out of his state of immobilization. This is confirmation that in the same way that your relationships can hurt you, they also have the power to heal you. In the same way that people can bring you down, people can bring you up. This man got a breakthrough not because of anything he does for himself, but because of what others on his team, in his corner, and in his circle do for him. And the truth is, we all need that. We all need a village of caring, compassionate, committed, consistent, and courageous people who are aware of what’s going on with us, are willing to assist us and don’t mind going the extra mile.
