Many of us keep covering the things in our lives that cripple us, and until we're ready to "take up our mat"--acknowledge and address the real reasons for our brokenness--the answers we need will remain just out of reach.

But Jesus knows what we need. What we are lacking. What needs fixed. We are not "in valid"--he sees us! And because the Living Water Christ offers requires something different from us, it's time to for us to "pick up our mat" and live like we've been restored.
