And Jesus, immediately
knowing in Himself that power had gone out of Him, turned around in the crowd
and said, “Who touched My clothes?” But His disciples said to Him, “You see the
multitude thronging You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’” And He looked around
to see her who had done this thing. But the woman, fearing and trembling,
knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him
the whole truth. And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well.
Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.”
Mark 5:30–34
In the healing of the woman
with the issue of blood, you could say that the woman sneaked up behind Jesus
and “stole” her healing! But was Jesus offended? Not at all! In fact, He was so
pleased with her boldness that He just had to meet her.
Jesus did not seek her out
to rebuke her. No, He sought her out so that He could affirm her with His love
and assure her that He wasn’t angry with her for having taken a portion of
healing virtue from Him. That’s why He even called her “daughter” and
encouraged her to walk in her healing—“Go in peace, and be healed of your
affliction.”
Beloved, that’s the heart
of your Savior. He freely gives out His healing virtue to anyone who will take
it from Him. So reach out and take from Him right now and bring pleasure to His
heart! (Article & Picture; courtesy
