I touch....

......the hem of His garment!!!

Remember the story of the woman who had an issue blood for twelve years....and she had the faith that if she could just touch the hem of Jesus' garment....she knew she would be healed?
(Matthew 9:20-21)

Isn't that just an amazing show of faith?

Did you realize that the term about touching the hem of Jesus' garment was mentioned another time in scripture?

Matthew 14:35-36 (NLT)
 When the people recognized Jesus, the news of his arrival spread quickly throughout the whole area, and soon people were bringing all their sick to be healed. They begged him to let the sick touch at least the fringe of his robe, and all who touched him were healed.

I like to think....that I can "touch the hem of His garment"....anytime I want.  I can go to Him in prayer....I can take ANYTHING....and EVERYTHING....to Him.
 
All I need....just like the woman....is FAITH.....faith that He will hear....and answer my prayers....if I ask that they be answered....according to HIS will...not mine!!!
 
Matthew 17:20 (NLT)
“You don’t have enough faith,” Jesus told them. “I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it would move. Nothing would be impossible.”
 
In His Most Precious Love....and with mine!!!
