He replied, “The man who made me well said to me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’” (John 5:11 NIV, 10-13-11)

The religious leaders asked him why he was violating the Sabbath by carrying his mat. His reply was simple. “Jesus said to.”

When the dude who healed me says, do something, I’m gonna do it.

Could it be that one of the reasons we don’t do what Jesus tells us to do is because we forget what He’s done for us?

[Father, help me to remember all you have done for me and help me to obey wholeheartedly.]
