"And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;
And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole."
Matthew 14:35-36
The idea of having the chance to be in the presence of Christ and to reach out to him is a powerful one. These people recognized that power, and they had the faith to be healed just by touching his clothing, as the woman with the issue of blood was healed.
I wonder sometimes if we have the same kind of faith, just to reach out to God and get his help in our lives. He surely is offering it, and if we have the faith, he will lift us and help us to figure out ourselves and our place in the world, and how to make a difference. We might not all be healed or helped in the same way, but we will be helped, and healed, in the ways that will help us to learn and grow and become what we can be.
Today, let's have the faith to reach out to God through prayer and through learning more about him. Let's talk things out with God and ask for healing and help in the ways that he knows will help us, and let's trust him to bless and help us in the ways that we need, as we keep talking things out with him daily. :) We can have God in our lives, if we will reach out to him.
