The woman that the title is referring to is a woman who had been sick for years. But she used her faith, and because she did, she was healed the moment she touched the robe Jesus wore. Jesus turned around to see who had touched Him and had compassion on her and she was healed from that moment after 12 years of seeing those who could not help her. Jesus healed the blind, drove out demons, healed a boy who had convulsions that couldn't be controlled, and He has brought healing to me. I was diagnosed with something awful at the young age of 22. I had been suffering with this disease all along, just not manifesting the symptoms in a way that others could see it. But it was there, sinister and forboding, and it took control of me when I was under a lot of stress. It was a disorder that there's no cure for. But over the years, medications have come on the market that have given me back my life. You may say, if Jesus can heal, why doesn't He heal me and make it so I'd never need meds. I use to question this way also, but I have been assured that "My Grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness". It could be that there are so many people out there suffering as I did that don't believe in the Lord, and only trust their own doctors and med's, and the particular med that helped me, may help them as well. Everyone grows at their own pace and some may not be ready to take that leap of faith and trust in God.
The way I understand may be different from others. I do believe that Jesus can do anything we could ever dream about. I have faith that can move mountains. But at the same time, God says "Come, let us reason together". God is perfect. He makes no mistakes, and if he wanted me to be able to deal with life without medications, I'm sure I would. He has a reason for this and I am happy trusting Him to keep me and to guide me throughout my life. I am able to do this blog, which even 2 years ago I wouldn't have been able to do. I didn't even want to get near this computer, and now I can't leave it alone because I am a new creature in Christ Jesus. I go from glory to glory because of Him and I will never doubt that He has his reasons for everything He does. His wisdom is so much greater than ours. His ways are not our ways, nor His thoughts our thoughts.
At night I listen to beautiful, restful music, and I meditate and pray at the end of the day, and usually at the beginning of the day as well. I was reading and suddenly got inspired to pick up pen and paper. The following verse came to me out of the infinite void of space, and it makes so much sense to me and gave me reason to celebrate even though I was alone. I felt such peace and rest come over me, and today was a beautiful, restful, and rewarding day. Here is the verse:
As I heal my Spirit by dwelling in God's peace and Harmony, my Spirit heals my body.
As I embrace the Eternal, the mortality of my Soul is changed to immortality.
My Lord and My God, you benefit all who come to you.
You are not far away in an existence I cannot see.
You dwell within my soul,
You are a part of me!
He is a part of me. He placed the seed of light and life in my soul at birth, and I have grown immensely in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. I am whole because in God there is no part and parcel of my soul. It is whole, I am whole, and all who are sick can also be whole. Believe in God and trust Him. You may not be completely well over-night, but God can and does heal today, just as He did in days past. I take med's every day, but I have been able to cut back quite a bit, and with the new med's they have, all my memories have been restored and I can once more remember all my days. I was cut off from my past by a severe trauma. For years I couldn't remember my early days. Not only childhood, but days with my husband. I was a different person. Now, I am whole and can remember not only my childhood, but places I lived, the things I have been able to see, and even my eyesight was restored through surgery and implanting of new lenses in both my eyes. One of my prayers at the tender age of 4, was that God would heal my eyes so I could see as good as everyone else. Now, I can.
There are many sick people in this world. I pray for them and I am on this blog to proclaim that not only can Jesus save our souls, He is interested in our lives and the things that we must suffer. He never promised me a rose garden, but He promised He would never leave nor forsake me. I don't need to hear anything else. I believe He walks with me every day I live, and that He has his reasons for the way He does things. Who am I, that a King should bleed and die for? Who am I, that He would say, not my will, thine for? I am His child, that's who I am, and so are you. All of you who are out there reading this blog, I want you to know tonight that Jesus is King of the Universe, and there's nothing impossible with Him! Nothing! Dare to believe, you won't be sorry!
