I may not see in front of me, But I can see for miles around when I look over my shoulder, and Lord, it`s clear. You`ve brought me here, So faithful every step of the way. What can I do but follow you, For You are the Way, the Truth, the Life, And You`ve promised never to leave me, My Savior, my friend, From beginning to end.
I Am Found In You

Then He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace." Luke 8:48 NIV
The woman had been subject to years of bleeding; twelve years to be exact. She had given up all hope of being made well. Many had tried to heal her, so she must have been a woman of means. She had struggled with her illness in a land that was not accepting to the sick.
An outcast in society, wasting away, the woman heard about a man named Jesus who was coming to town. The stories told that this man Jesus had power to heal. With any strength she had left, she made her way through the crowd. "If I can just touch His garment", she thought as she sneaked up behind our Lord. Reaching out her hand, she gripped, just barely, the hem of His garment. Immediately the woman was healed!
Twelve years of heartache........One touch and it was over!
Not only that, but Jesus welcomed her into the family by calling her "Daughter". He then sent her away in peace. She was saved....and accepted by God! A woman who hadn't known peace for twelve years, now had a new life ahead of her! Redemption had come!
Today, right now, you and I have access to that same peace. You and I can enter into the presence of our Savior, by faith, and have Him minister to our spirits. We can be called the sons and daughters of the Father.
Grab hold of His garment today! Cling hard to Jesus! Let Him heal you today!
