Just A Touch Of His Hem . . .

When I saw Him from a distance,
I ran and followed after Him
I believed all that I needed
was just a touch ~  of His hem.

For years I have been shunned,
turned away by those around me
so I hid myself in the crowd
praying my shame ~ He wouldn’t see.

As He passed  by I reached down,
and took from Him, my cure
for this man that they call Jesus
I knew He’d heal, if my faith was pure.

He stopped and called me His daughter,
when my belief in Him I revealed
and from that very moment
from my disease I was healed.

He bid to me to go in good comfort,
saying my faith had made me whole
I believe  as  I touched His hem . . .
He imparted His favor onto my  soul.

There is a moral to my story,
never be too ashamed of your illness or sin
for Jesus still  heals our weaknesses
if you just let Him touch you ~ from within!

Matthew 9:20-22
King James Version

“And, behold, a woman, which was diseased
with an issue of blood twelve years, came
behind him, and touched the hem of his
garment: For she said within herself, If I
may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
But Jesus turned him about, and when he
saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good
comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole.
And the woman was made whole from that hour. “
