A Reversal Of Thought

I was reading the story of how Jesus healed the woman who had a bleeding disorder. It is found in Mark 5. She had struggled with this problem for 12 years. She had been to every doctor and she had spent everything she had tyring to find a cure for her illness. She was desperate!

Then it happened. She had a reversal of thought!

She had heard of this Jesus who had the power to do miraculous things for people. She had heard how he had touched them and they were healed. She thought: "If only I COULD TOUCH HIM!"

She wasn't arrogant. She wasn't proud. She was at the end of her rope.

She believed in the power of Jesus. She knew He could heal her illness. Her humility was profound and her faith huge. "If only I could touch Him."

She didn't need to be the center of attention, she knew Jesus was.
She didn't need to have Him see her, she just needed to see Him.
She didn't need to tell Him all about her problem, she just needed a corner of his cloak dragging behind Him in the dust.

She fought through the crowd and touched a portion of Jesus' garment and instantly she was healed!

Instead of asking Jesus to touch you, why don't you ask Him what it takes for you to touch Him!
