Scripture: Mark 5:21-43
As I read this passage from Mark, Jesus' deep love for others stands
out. The woman was suffering. She knew if she could just touch Jesus
she would be healed. Immediately after touching him, she was freed
from her suffering. Jesus said, "Daughter, your faith has healed you."
These two healing stories show us that Jesus' heart is for healing
things that seem impossible to heal.
Today, we are called to connect and love others. Through faith we can
spread the word of God by our actions. How so? Reread the promise in
verse 36; what does it say? Jesus is bringing us together in the
church to have us be Jesus' hands and feet and show others his deep
love. Jesus shows us, by healing these two people, that this is part
of who and why we are.
Prayer: Dear God, help me to do your work with my hands. I know it
will not be easy, but give me the strength to go beyond my comfort
zone and be the light of Jesus for others. Amen.
