'A Radical New Way Of Thinking.'
Matthew 5:40-42.
a) Matthew 5:40. If anyone takes us to court to get our shirt we should give that person our tunic also. This is being compassionate, even to people that we may have thought of as enemies.
b) Matthew 5:41. If anyone calls you to walk a mile with them, be willing to walk two miles.
c) Matthew 5:42. Give to the person who asks you for something (if you can).
d) Matthew 5:42. We should not say "no" to the person who wants to use something that belongs to us.

'When Jesus Heals It Is Perfect Healing.'
Mark 8:23-25.
a) Mark 8:23. Jesus took the blind man by the hand out of town. (Into a quiet place, away from the crowds)
b) Mark 8:23. Then Jesus:-
1-Spat on the eyes of the blind man.
2-Put His Hands on the blind man.
3-Asked the blind man if he saw anything.
c) Mark 8:24. The blind men said that he saw men like trees as if they were walking.
d) Mark 8:25. Jesus put His Hands on the man's eyes again and told Him to look up.
e) Mark 8:25. The man was healed and saw everything well.
(This QT reminds me that when Jesus Heals It Is A Perfect Healing)

Chris.
Sometimes people may ask us to 'walk a mile with them'. We had no intention of walking with them but we end up doing it with a reluctant heart. If we are having that kind of response we need to ask God to help us to be more positive and helpful if we can. Also to be free to say "no" if we need to.
