Do not pass me by

Lately I've felt like the sick person that Jesus passed by on His way to heal others. I see so much healing in the lives of those around me; so many of their prayers answered. God seems to have given so many others abundant love and praise for Himself; an ability to see Him and be touched by Him.

Yet I experience none of this in my own life. I feel overlooked, forgotten, and passed by.
