2.18.16

From institute. Mark 5:34
34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.
*The woman with the issue of blood reaches for her Savior, she knows if she touches His clothes, she'll be healed. As she touches the hem, she is made whole. Christ turns to see her, for 12 years she has spent every penny to find a cure, and He says, Your spirit is now whole as well as your body. She is clean.
*I have always loved this story, but tonight, it hit me right in the feels. I realized that each of us, at one point in our lives, is that woman. I've felt it lately, because of my migraines. She touched His clothes, she should have been condemned by the law, but He is the law and forgives her. By touching Him, she made Him unclean (by the law) but He cleansed her, purified her, atoned for her. She spent every penny she had trying to get relief, many physicians, with no relief. I feel that I had done the same, I've tried so hard to make the migraines stop, thrown so much money and so many doctors visits at it, with no relief. But we both took a step of faith, her touching His clothes, and I getting my ears pierced. Both, after years of searching, have relieved us of our pains, our aching. I wish mine had been solved by turning to Him, but I feel comfort in knowing I have tried everything (honestly, EVERYTHING!) and now I finally have relief. I know there have been many, oh so many, miracles in my life. I feel that getting the piercings is yet another miracle.
