One day He said: Do you want to get well? The man answered: There’s none helping me… and im stuck to this situation for 38 years!

Then He said : Stand up, carry your bed and walk!

We tend to blame situations, people, environment and some other things why we are so miserable or just can’t move on. “if it were not because of you!” we said, but i think it should be “if it were not because of me!” If you are looking for a culprit… try to look in a mirror. Sometimes we stay in a situation, try to work it out but only to find out it is killing us. I found out that:

If we can’t move things forward, it’s time to move on. Dont stick with it.

It is time to carry our bed, not the other way around. We should be in control of our situations, problems, fear, or whatever it is. For so long a time we have been “carried by this bed” instead “us carrying the bed”. Because of that, we never became what we are intended to become.

“Thirty-eight years”, the invalid man in Bethesda said. “No one is helping me get out this situation”. The Man from Nazareth said “You don’t have to blame anybody.. forget it! It’s done! Take it behind your back! I’m here telling you now, ARISE TAKE UP YOUR BED AND WALK”

And the man rose up, and he carried his bed and went to the temple to worship.

Man, you can never be a better person God wanted you to be if you don’t rise up, carry your bed and walk.

It happened to me, it might be happening to you. Let me re-tell what He told me… Arise, take up your bed and walk.
