FAITH IS ALL IT TAKES

There was a woman who had suffered terribly from severe bleeding for twelve years, even though she had been treated by many doctors. She had spent all her money, but instead of getting better she got worse all the time. On those days of desperation and agony, she had heard about Jesus.

One day as Jesus came to preach in her town, she came in the crowd behind Him, saying to herself, “If I just touch His clothes, I will get well.”

She touched the cloak and her bleeding stopped at once. (Mark 5:25-29)

She just laid her hands on the hem of Jesus’ cloak, but she was healed. Her little faith in Jesus was very strong. She ran through the crowd that was keeping her away from Jesus. She might have had a difficult time reaching there; she might have fallen and hurt herself even more. But in her heart, she believed that if she could just reach Jesus, if she could just be a hand reach away from Him, if she could just touch the cloak of Jesus, she would be healed.

Yes sometimes we don’t realize that maybe just a little or an inch of faith is all it takes. There are many among us who have been suffering from long term illnesses. Some with cancer, some with heart diseases, some with diseases which never stop, like those whose eyes keep tearing, some who have dry coughs, some who has knee pains almost every day, some who can’t stand for long.

 Have you consulted with the doctor who gives life; the doctor who died for you; the doctor who still waits for you to come to Him and to call to Him?  

Jesus is not only waiting for the physically sick but also for all those who are spiritually down.Those who can’t give his or her full trust in the Lord, those who think that God doesn’t really have a part in their life, many others who just walked away because they had many negative incidents in their life. Sometimes we feel if there was a God, He wouldn’t have let this happened. But everything that happens in your life is a plan of God; A plan to bring you more nearer to Him. 

My dear friend, you may be physically or spiritually sick today. You might have lost all the hopes on people and on yourself. Turn to Him, for He is waiting with his hands stretched out for you.

All Jesus wants us to have is a little faith in Him, and trust Him.  If that woman believed that Jesus was all it takes for her to get healed, why not you, why not every one of us??

Turn to God; for He is your salvation, He knows what you’re going through. He is always ready and willing to heal you, call to Him.

Just a little faith is all it takes.
