Have you ever experienced feeling less than? A time when you felt out of the ordinary when all you wanted to be was—well—ordinary?
Matthew introduces us to a woman who experienced a serious medical problem for twelve years. A bleeding condition that most likely kept her from living life to its fullest. Imagine her level of exhaustion and frustration after being ill for so long. Just like we visit doctors, specialists and perhaps look into natural alternatives today, for over ten years this woman must have run the gamut to find a cure. How devastated and defeated she must have felt when encountering nothing but dead ends along the way.
She wasn’t without hope, though. She tried one last thing: a simple touch of Jesus’ robe. He didn’t lay hands on her or invite her to experience a miracle. This woman took initiative and reached out to Jesus.
She believed one faith-filled touch of the Savior would bring healing. A woman, who just wanted to be ordinary, was met with extraordinary healing simply because she believed.
