Sometimes our problems can be too embarrassing that it is hard to even ask God for a deliverance. A woman having a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any, is a perfect example for the scenario. She is probably the only person who could not openly ask Jesus Christ for a healing, because her issue was too embarrassing to be addressed publicly. But that did not stop her from having faith to receive healing from the King of compassion. She thought to herself, “ It is ok if I can’t ask out loud, I can still touch Him and receive healing. He doesn’t even have to know. It is enough if I touch Him. If He can touch the blind and the lepers and heal them, I should receive healing too, by touching Him”. And she was healed immediately.
Jesus wanted to honor her faith and asked who touched Him. If not for that confrontation, the woman would have missed out on an opportunity to glorify God. She came trembling and falling down before Him, she declared to Him in the presence of all the people the reason she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately.
And Jesus said to her, “Daughter, be of good cheer; your faith has made you well. Go in peace”.Luke 8:48
Let us boldly take our untouchable issues to the creator of the Universe. Nothing is too filthy for Him to cleanse. He has seen it all and yet loves us enough that He laid down His life for us on the cross.
