Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.” Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart, daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed at that moment (Matthew 9:20-22). This event defined a new relationship and trust with the living God. It depicts acts of desperate faith, divine compassion, and the breaking of social and religious barriers. The message is do not wait to seek Christ, He wants us to reach out and offers constant accessibility and a divine ability to heal.
