December 8 Matthew 9:20-22
20 Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. 21 She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.”
22 Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart, daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed at that moment.
There seems to be something about desperation that both turns people to Jesus and causes Jesus to respond. The good thing for us is the second part. God doesn’t scold us for waiting till the desperate moment. I know it was true for me. I my anguish I cried out loud. I may even have shouted. “Can’t I just be!” Immediately God responded. “”Yes, and I Am!”
When I you been desperate? Or. Are you now? Reach out and touch Him any way you can!
