There was something that struck me about the statements, that Jesus passed through towns and villages, healing all their sick as he did. Now you can't tell me that all those sick people were "good, upstanding" people who "deserved" to be healed! Like any town or village, I'm sure they had their range of characters! And sickness doesn't discriminate between "good" and "bad". And it appears that Jesus' healing didn't either! After all "we have all sinned..." (Romans 3:23), so there is really no difference between us. We are the ones who label people that way. Jesus didn't. If they came to him for healing, he healed them. He didn't check if they were worthy first.
We need that same view point when we have some sort of "healing" to offer. When God places before you a need that you can fill, don't ask questions or make judgements - just fill it. The judging is not a role given to us. The giving is.
