All of us have experienced something in our lives that we did not seek, ask for, or desire. Life happens to all of us, and sometimes in painful ways. Maybe it was abuse, betrayal, disease, or dysfunction, but something has happened to each of us that has left us wounded, scarred, and scared. And maybe desperate. There was a gentleman who encountered Jesus, whose life was unfair. He had leprosy. He was scarred, exiled, humiliated, and simply put “Not OK,” but he was desperate, and he dared to approach Jesus and beg for healing.
