(Luke 8:43) "And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, and though she had spent all her living on physicians, she could not be healed by anyone. She came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment, and immediately her discharge of blood ceased. And Jesus said, “Who was it that touched me?” When all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the crowds surround you and are pressing in on you!” But Jesus said, “Someone touched me, for I perceive that power has gone out from me.” And when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed. And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace.”
(To me), This sequence was one of the most powerfully portrayed sections of The Chosen (please see a shortened version here): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLNd6VgwNOk
Whatever way you look at this, the main point is that her ‘reasoning’ that Jesus would 'somehow' help her was POWERFULLY rewarded! Even without knowing who had touched him, he was aware that the Holy Spirit knew exactly what was happening, and He had responded to her faithful cry!
So, are you reasoning just now - or still wishing? Hoping or despairing? Faithfully moving towards Him or curled up in a ball and resigned to your fate?
Wherever you are right now, STOP for a few seconds and allow the Holy Spirit to open your heart’s ears and ‘hear’ the Living Words our Lord and Saviour, Jesus the Christ of GOD, is saying to YOU!
GOD, who created all our hearts, says, “Come to Me, my dear Child, and I will show you how to break free and live! Do your part and trust in Me enough to honour Me.”
