(Mark 3:20-21).
Am I...
part of the crowd?
(Mark 3:20)
Following You wherever You go, even to this house, here to see You, longing for a touch from You, hoping to be healed by You, eager to hear what You might say, pressing in to touch You, crowding You because I know I need You?

Even if it means I'm hungry.
Even if I'm disappointed, if my expectations aren't fulfilled. Even if it means being sent to the desert.
Even if it means lonely places.
Even if it means walking away from my booth.
Even if it means eating with sinners and tax collectors.
Even if they tear my roof, even if I miss meals, even if they say I'm out of my mind, even if they say I'm possessed, even if it means betrayal,
even if it means...
