"She thought, 'If I just touch His clothes, I will be healed.'"
Mark 5:28
Twelve years of suffering.
Twelve years of disappointment.
Doctor after doctor, coin after coin, and still no relief. That's where this woman was when she heard about Jesus. She didn't have a detailed plan or a theological argument. She had one hope: "If I just touch His clothes..."
That's the kind of faith born from desperation. Not polished. Not loud. But real.
Her story reminds us that faith is sometimes a trembling hand reaching through the crowd, barely believing you're worthy of His attention. And yet, Jesus notices. He always notices. Not just the act, but the heart behind it.
We live in a world that demands self-reliance. But Jesus honors vulnerability. The kind of vulnerability that says, "I've got nothing left but this one hope: that You can help me."
And here's the beauty—He doesn't just heal her body. He speaks to her heart. "Daughter," He says, affirming her place in the family of God. "Go in peace" (Mark 5:34). Not just with healed skin, but with restored dignity and deep peace within.
You may not be battling the same kind of illness, but maybe you know what it's like to feel isolated, forgotten, or broken beyond repair. Maybe your faith feels small. That's okay. God doesn't ask you to have it all together.
He just asks you to reach out to Him in faith.
Do it today!
