Just the HEM of Your PRESENCE

(Mark 5) A large crowd followed and pressed around him [Jesus]. ²⁵ And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. ²⁶ She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. ²⁷ When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, ²⁸ because she thought, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.” ²⁹ Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering. ³⁰ At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?” ³¹ “You see the people crowding against you,” his disciples answered, “and yet you can ask, ‘Who touched me?’ ” ³² But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. ³³ Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. ³⁴ He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.”

       The Lord deals with all of us in different ways just as he had treated the sick people in the New Testament times. But sometimes we have to intentionally touch Him like what the bleeding woman did. We have to touch His heart as we align our plans with His for our lives. We have to simply touch His glory with every simple things we do: with our corporate worship, with our giving, with our cell group and discipleship, with our family, studies, career and even with  our personal and private lives.

      Good thing about our Lord Jesus is that, He hears even the deafening silence of a humble spirit or even in the midst of the raging crowd of prayers thrown at Him. Every act of faith, every act of worship, every soul thirsty for Him to fill, every obedience and sacrifices will never go unnoticed. Crowd will not overcome Him, all sins will be blotted out and He will give us fresh start; we just have to come to Him just as we are: BROKEN.

Isaiah 59:1
  Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear.
