“The Lord has need of it..”

Jesus instructed His disciples to take another man’s donkey. The Son of God told His men to “loose it and bring it” to Him (Mark 11:2). If someone objected, they were to say, “The Lord has need of it,” and they would then be permitted to lead it away. That donkey carried Christ into Jerusalem on what we call Palm Sunday.
There’s a lesson here for us to consider. We all have things that we hold dear. We may have thought, I could never part with that. It may be a new truck, a coat, some other possession, or our precious few free hours during the week. Will we be open to give when someone obviously needs something we have?

Suffering...from the perspective of a third world country, can we consider being sheltered in our homes with a roof over our heads. With all the comforts of home, can we really call suffering because of Corona-19 quarantine. Palms Sunday went from being a really good week to ending up the worst week. On top of suffering from progressive MS,I got hit with being quarantine with a RSV Virus...with a weak immune system. Suffering has a way of being us to our knees,it's through Jesus HE carries us when one more burden cripple us to the core.

Let’s be honest, most of us would have to admit that we have a natural aversion to suffering. It may not bother us so much when “bad” people suffer, but we often get bent out of shape when suffering happens to “good” people—especially to us! We think that life owes us happiness, comfort, wealth, and a bit of prosperity. So when life deals us a blow, it’s no wonder we are prone to “grow weary and lose heart.”“Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed.”
