Hopeless to Healed

It is amazing how quickly we get to know this poor woman in Mark 5:21-34. In the first sentence we find out that she has had a period that has lasted twelve years, the treatments had caused much suffering, and nothing had helped or would help because she had spent all her money.

So there was no hope - except Jesus. And she was so desperate that she would risk breaking the rule of isolation for her condition to touch God Himself. She is immediately healed and knows it. 

Even though she hoped to keep this under cover, Jesus calls out to have the grace-filled lady give an account. She tells all and He says, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering."

What good news! And Jesus has the same for us as we reach out in faith and touch Him. Thank you, Lord.
