Hey friends!  Did I tell you guys yet that I have a chronic illness?  And that there are a million different doctors doing a million different things to figure it out – but I was reminded during  a recent bout of family illness of a story from the Bible – about a lady that bled for TWELVE YEARS without a cure!  12 years!
It reminded me that I’m not alone while going through this, and that others have already gone before me – and that Jesus spoke DIRECTLY to them.
And listener friends – whichever faith you may have, I hope you are able to at least understand or enjoy my comparison!  Thanks for coming back!

Luke 8:43-48

English Standard Version

43 And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, and though she had spent all her living on physicians,[a] she could not be healed by anyone. 44 She came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment, and immediately her discharge of blood ceased. 45 And Jesus said, “Who was it that touched me?” When all denied it, Peter[b] said, “Master, the crowds surround you and are pressing in on you!” 46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched me, for I perceive that power has gone out from me.” 47 And when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed. 48 And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace.”
