Then Jesus said to the woman,
“Your sins are forgiven.”
But Jesus again spoke to the woman,
“Your faith has saved you; go in peace!”
---- my own,
What I said to the woman, I also say to you: take heart. Do not allow the storms to disturb your peace. You have come to Me. You have cried out to Me, and I heard you. I always hear you. I see your tears and wipe them away. I have given you an unmistakable sign that I AM present in the eye of the storm. Why do you look at the waves? Do not worry about the world, for nothing in it has power over those whom I have declared to be my own, and you are Mine. I claimed you before the foundation of the world was laid. I have given you a name. I have saved you, redeemed you. I strengthen you with My own Body, and I satisfy your thirst with My Blood. Why do you allow worry to weigh you down and rob you of your peace and joy, which are My gifts to you by the Holy Spirit? You grieve the Holy Spirit in you when you allow your anxieties, worries, and fears to disturb the peace that is My gift to you. It is My peace that I give you, not the peace that the world gives with its ephemeral and empty promises. It is I, the Son of the Living God, who has forgiven all your sins and made you a new creation. Continue to ponder My Word and let My Word fill you with light and life, for My Word is eternal and My promises are true. Faith has saved you, and faith continues to save you. Grow in it by trusting in Me completely and believe this - you are saved for life in Me now and forever.
