Matthew 9:20-22
20Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. 21She said to herself, "If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed." 22Jesus turned and saw her. "Take heart, daughter," he said, "your faith has healed you." And the woman was healed from that moment.
This morning at 2am God answered a question I have been seeking for the answer to and though the question in personal, the answer was "It is all or nothing Jen!!" All I could think about at that time was poker, you take risk and sometimes you put all that you have in or you hold on to what we have because it is "safe" for us. Well needless to say I wanted to stomp my feet like alittle girl and cry. The reason for this fit is because this answer could change a major area of my life. Reading in Matthew the passage above REALLY made me think about my problem. The woman that was subject to bleeding, thought all she needed to do was touch Jesus's cloak to be healed, and what he said to her is what got to me was, "It is your faith that has healed you" WOW so I am now trying to see how I can apply this all or nothing attitude to the situation at hand, and know that I have the faith that it will not make a huge change in my life!!! I have the faith that God is in this situation with me and he is guiding me, just as he has been guiding me through it all along but sometimes it takes a spiritual smack in the head to make us realize that God always has our best interest at heart , and he has what is in our hearts in his hands!
