Jesus said, “Who touched me?” Everyone denied it;
and Peter said, “Master, the crowd is pushing all around you.”
But Jesus insisted, “Someone touched me,
for I felt power go out from me.”
The woman knew she had been discovered.
She came trembling, and knelt before Jesus.
Then she openly confessed why she had touched him,
and how she had been instantly cured.
And Jesus said to her, “Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
---- mine,
I know all who touch Me with faith, no matter how lightly, surreptiously, timidly you reach out to touch even the tassel of My cloak, I AM aware for power rushes out of Me into the person who comes to Me and reaches out to Me in faith. Neither the crowds nor the hustle and bustle of the tumultuous world nor the countless poor souls that cry out to Me night and day can drown out, single out, and respond to each individual cry and touch. Even if you wish to be anonymous, even if you are afraid and trembling with fright, deeming yourself unworthy of My attention, I know you, I can pick you from the crowd and recognize that it is you who touched Me. No one is faceless and unknown to Me. I AM sensitive to everything about you. I AM aware of you all the time, for My gaze is unwaveringly on you. I AM passionately involved with every aspect of your life. I hear you because I know you, and your life is bound to Mine with unbreakable bonds. So be not afraid, ---- my own. Be not afraid because I AM here and I love you passionately. All I ask is for you to respond to My love and to plead with the Holy Spirit daily to increase your love for Me so you will love Me more and more with the dawn of every new day. Remain in My love. Stay close. Pray constantly. Offer praise and thanksgiving with a joyful heart. Strive to grow in perfection, for I delight greatly in the striving which is most delightful to Me. I will bless you always and hear and answer you always because I love you and because you are Mine. Remain in My love now and forever.
