One Touch by Sue Trimble
The woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his (Jesus’) feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed. Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.” Luke 8:48-49
Jesus completed many miracles during His short time on earth. He raised the dead, cast out demons and healed many. What struck me as I read this passage is the strong faith the sick woman must have had to overcome her fear to approach Jesus. Jesus knew she was there and needed healing. He answered her prayer. In the presence of all, she fell to His feet and proclaimed how He had healed her.
This nameless, but faithful woman cast her fear and worries at the feet of The Savior. Jesus KNEW she was there and He healed her. What a wonderful example of how we, too should give our challenges to the Lord. He knows we are there. He knows our struggles. When we commit our lives and our troubles to Jesus, we are able to follow His command, “Go in Peace.” My prayer for you is to have a strong faith in Jesus that will lead you to also “Go in Peace”.
