---DARING TO REACH OUT/ - "COME UNTO ME..."

--"A woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.” Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart, daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed from that moment."

-"Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
"Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
"For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
--(Matthew 9:20-22 / - Matthew 11:28-20)~~ / bible

----The redemptive work of Jesus isn’t just about the “sweet by and by.” It has impact on our lives in time. Our salvation includes our body, soul, and spirit—every part of our person—that we might be healed, delivered, and given a purpose in God’s Kingdom. This woman had spent twelve years fighting a private battle. Her medical condition would have determined her life choices. She wouldn’t have been welcome in public, but she braved the crowds that day and approached Jesus. She knew that Jesus could deliver her and change her life completely if she could just touch Him. She did, and He did, and hers is one of the most touching stories of deliverance in the Bible. Jesus wants to do for You the same thing He did for this woman. Reach out and touch Him, believing that He will deliver you.

THINK ABOUT IT
Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Be confident today of Jesus’ willingness and power to heal as the woman with the problem of bleeding was then.

[Our Savior, Lord, and GOD, Yahweh, has already paid our sin-debt by dying on the Cross. cross He will not force Himself on anyone. He stands calling for people to ,"Come unto Me...." He died an unbelievably painful death on the Cross for us, each person on earth. By the Holy Spirit, He Jesus, is calling us to accept His 'free-gift' of eternal life. Please don't turn Him away. Jesus loves you so much. Come, just as you are. He will help you to live for Him. We can not do this on our own because the enemy of our souls, the devil will try to tempt and discourage you [us]. Don't listen to him. Jesus tells us 'the devil is the father of lies. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. He is a liar and the father of lies." --(John 8:44).

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, Jesus was wounded on the cross that I might be healed. Help me continually apply Jesus’ finished work through His shed blood to my life—body, soul, and spirit—to deliver and restore me to health. Thank You for Your compassion. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Blessings,

[Yes, we live in a fallen world because of the sin of Adam and Eve in the beginning of time. Therefore we will have sicknesses, ailments, and pain. But when Jesus returns, He will take all of that away from His people. Please, Come today. We are not promised tomorrow. "Call upon the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved." --(ACTS 2:21) Our complete healing will be when our Lord takes us Home, to live with Him forever. ~~]

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
