today's reading: Mark 5:21-43

the Hem of His Garment

There is a lovely old song with this title ..........

If I could touch just the hem of His garment

then I know

I would be made whole.

 

 

If I could just touch the hem of His garment
I know I'd be made whole
If I could just press my way through this madness
His love would heal my soul

Making our way through this difficult earthy life,

we need that kind of faith!

The faith that says .... just a touch of the hem of His garment

just a touch of His holiness...

and I will be set free from my sickness,

released from my painful past,

set free from anxiety about my children,

free from worry over my finances

restored to emotional health

 

Just one touch of His garment.....

 of His holiness

 and I will be able to go on for another day....

because one touch of that Mighty power will keep me going....

 

One touch of the Hem of His garment.......

means I am reaching for Him ... stretching out my hands to Him so that

even if my grasping fingertips brush the edge of His Magnificent Holiness...

I will receive that healing power........

 

There will be no escape.

It will consume all my fears

worries

doubts

anxieties

illness

uncertainties

pain

frustration

self

There will be nothing but that POWER

washing over me and making me

whole and holy

like Him.
