Show me a
person who runs away and hides in the face of challenges yet comes out a victor.
Nobody!
A woman dared to come out on the street to join the troop of “healthy”
people that followed Jesus. She also dared to push through to where Jesus was.
She managed to bend to touch the hem of Jesus’ garment. She had been ill twelve
long years. It was enough to just sit still and await her death. If the
medicine of Israel couldn’t heal her, how possible is it for this Jesus to. He
was even on his way to attend to ‘important’ Jairus. Yes, He has been healing
others but will she be? Well, let me just try this once, I imagine her say.
Some women that knew her case would have turned their nose up at her as she approached. A tag had replaced her name: the woman with the issue of blood. Despite all, she appeared on the scene. Each step may have been painful; each heartbeat may have been full of fear but she went on. Anyhow, she pushed on. Then: who touched me? Who touched you in the midst of this crowd? So funny, Lord Jesus. It was the touch of the woman with the issue of blood. Wow, it was enough to make Jesus stop and ask. The end result? She was healed!
I receive grace to move forward no matter what!
