A Woman Reaches

Nov 5, 2023    Paige Allen

In this powerful exploration of faith and healing, we delve into the story of the woman with the issue of blood from Luke 8. This nameless woman's journey teaches us about persistence, courage, and the transformative power of faith. Despite years of rejection and isolation, she dared to reach out and touch Jesus' garment, believing in His power to heal. Her story reminds us that Jesus sees beyond our labels and afflictions, calling us His own. The contrast between her and Jairus' daughter highlights how Jesus values all equally, regardless of social status. We're challenged to consider: Are we reaching out to Jesus with the same desperation and faith? Are we allowing Him to not only heal our surface issues but also address the deeper emotional and spiritual needs we may not even recognize? This message encourages us to push through our discomfort and allow Jesus to speak the words our hearts most need to hear, transforming our identity from outcast to beloved child of God.
