I love the story of Bartimaeus. He had real character that bloke! He shouts at the top of his voice for Jesus to come and see him and have mercy on him.
Everyone tells him to shut up.
But, instead of listening to them he shouts EVEN LOUDER.

How do you react when someone criticises you?
Do you curl up in a corner sulking somewhere? Do you cry and walk away or do you totally ignore them and carry on.
Where we feel convicted by God of our need to call on Him, we must ignore all other distractions.
I shout today to Jesus.
Do you?
