The People Jesus Always Stopped For 😢➡️😭➡️🎉 Everywhere Jesus Qty went in the Gospels, broken people ran to Him: The bleeding woman who just needed to touch His robe (Mark 5:25-34) Blind Bartimaeus yelling on the side of the road (Mark 10:46-52) The demon-possessed man no one could chain (Mark 5:1-20) Tax collectors, prostitutes, lepers… the “messy” ones.

Exhaustion is not a badge of honor—it’s a blinking warning light. 🔥 Practical punch: Cancel something this week. Say no. Take a Sabbath. Sleep. God will still be on the throne when you wake up. 2.
