Healing Touch

20 Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. 21 She said to herself, "If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed."
22 Jesus turned and saw her. "Take heart, daughter," he said, "your faith has healed you." And the woman was healed from that moment.

Matthew 9:20-22

In this season of lent as we strive to draw near to Jesus daily in anticipation of the celebration of Easter, don’t you know that just a touch of His Spirit can heal the brokenness of your life in ways that may seem unimaginable to you today. See, with God there are no boundaries to what He is willing to do for those who trust Him enough to look His way and to reach out for His cloak in an act of faith and surrender. The closeness that comes from laying everything at His feet to do with as He pleases is the only thing that our God wants or desires from you today. He longs for an intimate relationship where you trust Him completely with everything that you are, everything that you have and everything that you ever hope to be. Trust Him today with your illness; trust Him today with your hurt and your anger; trust Him today with your money or your lack of money; trust Him today with your career, with your goals and dreams for the future; trust Him today to heal the broken relationships with your loved ones and your friends and colleagues – reach for His cloak today with your whole heart believing a miracle and a miracle is what will happen in your life as you give it away to the King!
