Mark 5:27-29 CEB
Because she had heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his clothes. 
She was thinking, If I can just touch his clothes, I'll be healed.
Her bleeding stopped immediately, and she sensed in her body that her illness had been healed.  
Mark 5:27-29 CEB
12 years of illness.
12 years of hope, and no change.
12 years of making money somehow to give to doctors for nothing to change.
12 years of waiting.
12 years of being "unclean".
12 years of limitation. 
And in a moment, she knew that her illness was healed.
Everything changed in a moment.
In that moment, perhaps for the first time in her adult life, she felt fully alive.
Whether we experience anything like this in this life, whether our illnesses and weaknesses and limitations are miraculously healed or not, one day we will meet Jesus just as this person did, and we will experience what she did, the fully aliveness of all we were made to be.
She got a taster, because while she was healed in that moment, it was only temporary.  There was another forever healing to come for her, just as there is for us,  when we meet Jesus face to face, and become fully alive...

Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith

Psalm 42.1-11.nlt As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God... I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? O God my rock l cry, Why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies? Their taunts break my bones. They scoff, Where is this God of yours? Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God! That song "as the deer pants for the water..." seems almost nice, but it's not...it's part of a cry of anguish, of hurt, of despair...of God not giving an answer...yet...through all that...again and again he says I'll put my hope in God! #choose #hope #hopeunshaken

Joseph replied..."Dont you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now - life for many people..." Genesis 50:19-20 MSG The view from the drone. The different perspective. "God has been at work in my life despite, in fact within the hatred that you had towards me. Even though I couldn't always see it, I kept trusting Him, even when He was silent, when all hope seemed lost... God was at work... Can you see that now?" #faith #faithinthedark
