Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed.
God is sitting here, looking into my very soul to see if I think right thoughts. Yet I am not afraid, for I try to be right and good; and He knows every one of my struggles.Emily Dickinson, letter to Abiah Root (29 January 1850)
Jesus sent him away at once with a strong warning:Mark 1:43 NIV
Jesus was indignant. He reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!”Mark 1:41 NIV
