God, the Creator of all, takes notice of us, comes to us, and lifts us up from those things that paralyze us. God comes to walk with us so that we may be able to walk with God. Now, what God has done for us is meant to be the model for us as well. We do not ignore or walk by those who are immobilized and weighed down in the heavy burdens of shame and guilt. Rather, as we walk with God, we are to take notice of those who are hurting, who are in need, and who need what we have in Jesus Christ. Like the apostles Peter and John, we may not have worldly wealth or political power, but we are able to offer that which only those who walk with God can give, that is, a new and eternal relationship with God through Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, we say "rise up and walk."
