"She said to herself, 'if I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.' Jesus turned and saw her, 'Take heart, daughter,' he said, 'your faith has healed you.' "
Matthew 9:21-22
A woman trusted in God's power to change her life. She'd been ill for years. She was being pushed away from Jesus by a noisy - and perhaps equally needy -crowd. But she didn't yell, "Hey, hear ME! Heal ME! She didn't hang onto Jesus' arm for emphasis. She spoke in her heart and reached only for the hem of His cloak.
Lord, thank You for this amazing story. Help me remember that getting Your attention requires nothing more than knowing I deeply need it.
