Be Made Whole

Today I was reading in my little devotonal book called “You Are my Hinding Place” by Amy Carmicheal. The title was “Just His Touch…” I also had some thoughts on this wonderful subject in the Bible I have not thought of before.

Jesus was met by many sick people wherever He went. Mark 6:56. “And withersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of His garment and as many as touched Him were made whole.” (Also read Mathew 14:36)

We all have times when life is not happy, fun and the sun isn’t always shining in life. We are having a bad day. Times are hard. I have gone through hard times myself. Very hard times.I have cried many tears. Though the darkest days of my life are when the light of the Lord Jesus has never shone so brightly to me.

Maybe you face a really painfull decision, one you know you have to make. Maybe you are not in the happiest of sprirts. Maybe you are discouraged by the sin that keeps coming up in your daily life towords your family. Maybe you have experienced really hard times, like losing someone dear to you.

Jesus passes by for you today. I love that. He passes by today!! Just to think we get the chance to reach out and touch the hem of His garment.

I grieve to think of the many days in which He Himself has passed and I have let Him go, yet needing Him so much, thinking only of the things I am going through I let Him pass by without reaching up for His garment. He is right there. We get the life-changing chance each day to reach for His garment. Don’t let Him pass. We need Him. He will make us whole.

Mathew 9:20-22 “And behold a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind Him and touched the hem of His garment. For she said within herself, if I may touch His garment, I shall be whole. But Jesus turned Him about and when He saw her He said Daughter be of good comfort thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.”
