He said to her, "Daughter your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering." Mark 5:34 NIV
"Sometimes you just have to have faith and not question." A friend recently shared. She's so right.
There are times when we hear something from the Bible and we struggle to understand what it means. The Bible can be confusing in some spots and sometimes it's down right boring. No offense.
The Bible though is a guide on how we are to live our lives. There are stories in there to encourage us. Such as the woman who was healed after bleeding for twelve years.
She didn't want to be a bother to Jesus. She had been to several doctors and none of them could help. She wasn't allowed to be near her family because she was considered unclean. She was alone.
She was desperate. She had heard stories about Jesus, and knew he was coming. She figured she wouldn't draw attention to herself or him because if she touched him then he would be considered unclean.
The crowd was large she squeezed her way in and managed to touch the fringe of his coat. Just the fringe, immediately she felt different. She knew she'd been cured!
Jesus felt it too, he knew someone needed him. He stopped to find out who. At first she didn't want to speak, she didn't want him to know. I imagine though he was looking right at her, because he knew. She admitted it was her and he let her know her faith had healed her.
It didn't take much just a belief. Sometimes a belief is all we have left. A belief that things will get better. A belief that one day I will be healed. A belief that God will work things out for good.
Stop doubting my friend and believe no matter what other's may think. It just takes faith.
