She said to her mistress, "I wish that my master were with the prophet who is in Samaria! Then he would cure him of his leprosy." II Kings 5:3
These are the words of a little girl who had been taken captive by her enemies, and was working as a slave. Her master was Naaman, her captor, who had leprosy. At the end of this story Naaman meets the prophet Elisha and receives healing from the dreaded disease. The one detail of the story I like the best is the connection created by this little girl. Even though her life may have been much less than perfect, she loved her enemies and had faith in her God. That bridge of love and faith, built a bridge that brought about healing in the lives of her enemies. What have we ever done that would equal that? Most of the time we are only concerned about when God is going to do something for us. Let the little child lead us.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
