Luke 8:46-48

We cannot receive from God unless we believe He exists. Our faith opens the  door to His mercy and grace because He cares for us. We can come to God boldly in our faith.

Trust Him to heal you …Mind, Body and Spirit. 

According to Philippians 2:7, Jesus took “the very nature of a servant.” He became like us so he could serve us. He entered the world not to demand our allegiance but to display his affection.

He knew you’d be sleepy, he knew you’d be grief stricken, and hungry. He knew you’d face pain. If not the pain of the body, the pain of the soul. He knew you’d face thirst. If not a thirst for water, at least a thirst for truth. And the truth we glean from the image of a thirsty Christ on the cross is: Jesus understands. Max Lucado

May our hearts be open to all the peoples and nations of the earth. May we recognize the goodness and beauty that you have sown in each of us, and thus forge bonds of unity, common projects and shared dreams. Amen. Pope Francis

Luke 8:46-48

46 But Jesus said, “Somebody touched Me, for I perceived power going out from Me.” 47 Now when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before Him, she declared to Him in the presence of all the people the reason she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately.

48 And He said to her, “Daughter, be of good cheer; your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”

The woman might have feared that Jesus would be angry, since she did not ask permission—especially if touching Jesus made Him ceremonially unclean. Alternatively, her trembling may simply indicate an appropriate level of awe and reverence at the display of Jesus’ healing power. Faithlife Bible.

This condition not only would have been embarrassing, it would have made the woman unclean. It took great courage for her to seek out Jesus. Note that her action was not criticized, but commended. NKJ Bible.

This woman came trembling, yet her faith saved her. Matthew Henry Commentary.

Mark 5:34 And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.”

Luke 6:19 And the whole multitude sought to touch Him, for power went out from Him and healed them all.

Luke 7:50 Then He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
