Nov 12 - Forever Changed!


Bible Verse: Luke 8:43-48 New Living Translation (NLT) "A woman in the crowd had suffered for twelve years with constant bleeding, and she could find no cure. Coming up behind Jesus, she touched the fringe of his robe. Immediately, the bleeding stopped. 'Who touched me?' Jesus asked. Everyone denied it, and Peter said, 'Master, this whole crowd is pressing up against you.' But Jesus said, 'Someone deliberately touched me, for I felt healing power go out from me.' When the woman realized that she could not stay hidden, she began to tremble and fell to her knees in front of Him. The whole crowd heard her explain why she had touched him and that she had been immediately healed. 'Daughter,' He said to her, 'your faith has made you well. Go in peace.'"

Prayer: "Dear Lord, If only I could have the kind of faith that this woman had - - to trust that if only I could touch You, I would be healed.  Lord, I know that this woman went away changed forever, and that's how I feel about my relationship with You.  You have touched my life in such a way that I have no words to explain the changes that have taken place.  Once, all I felt was guilt and shame -- I felt as though nobody could possibly love me.  But then You came, and Your forgiveness, compassion, mercy, and grace touched me, and I know that I will NEVER be the same.  Thank You Jesus for touching my life! In Your precious name I pray, AMEN."
