Reach Out and Touch

Faith and trust and reach out and touch. He is the One who has the power to heal.

May's Message, Day 21:

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 NIV

 And:

 And wherever he went—into villages, towns or countryside—they placed the sick in the marketplaces. They begged him to let them touch even the edge of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed. Mark 6:56 NIV

 And:

 and the people all tried to touch him, because power was coming from him and healing them all. Luke 6:19 NIV

Powerful healing coming from the Great Physician Himself, the One who knit together every minute particle of our being and makes it all work. We are infinitely complex beings made of an innumerable set of particles which all have to fit and work together precisely. And even still, each of us is unique. For the Creator, it's simple to fix that which He has already made. As for us, note the two very important principles that the Scriptures show. Firstly, it takes faith on our part, to believe without doubting, and trust without wavering. And secondly, we have to reach out and touch the essence of the One who has the healing power. God's will is beyond our comprehension and His ways unintelligible to our finite minds, but if you desperately need healing, then pray with mountain-moving faith and reach out and touch the One who can.
