---JUST THE RIGHT TIME~~

---"Jesus answered, "Permit even this!" And he touched the man's ear and healed him."
---(LUKE 22:51)

---EARLY IN HIS career, jazz player Herbie Hancock was invited to play in the quintet of legendary Miles Davis. Later Hancock admitted being nervous but described it as a wonderful experience because Davis was so nurturing. During one performance, when Davis was near the high point of his solo, Hancock played the wrong chord. He was mortified, but Davis continued as if nothing had happened. "He played some notes that made my chord right," Hancock said.

What an example of loving leadership! Davis simply adjusted his plan and turned a potentially disastrous mistake into something beautiful.

What Davis did for Hancock, Jesus did for Peter. When Peter cut off the ear of a soldier who had come to arrest Jesus. Jesus reattached the ear (Luke 22:51), indicating that His kingdom was about healing, not hurting. Time after time Jesus used the disciples' mistakes to show a better way.

What Jesus did for His disciples, He also does for us. What He does for us, we can do for others. Instead of magnifying every mistake, we can turn them into beautiful acts of forgiveness, healing, and redemption. ~

-"Thank You, Lord Jesus, that because of who You are, living inside of us, we can be examples of You. Help us Lord to never be ashamed of You and Your Word. In Your Name we pray.~ amen" ~
