PETER JUST PASSED BY...

"...As a result people brought the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and mats so that at least Peter's shadow might fall on some of them as he PASSED BY." (Acts 5:15 NIV)

He did pass by.

PETER has just passed by our streets, our churches, our homes, our hearts.

A blessed few got to meet and touch and kiss and converse with him.

A million others just made do with patiently lining up his route to and from his engagements hoping to catch even just a glimpse of him.

All is now drawing to a close.

Whether in intimate or in fleeting moments spent with the visiting Apostle, an open, obedient and faith-filled heart is needed.

He again just passed by all of us.

May we truly receive in abundance the accompanying healing and renewal that his visit brought in the name of the Lord!
