Word 105 of 310Love

Who touched Me?

Luke 8:45

BSB

Read Luke 8 in a modern translation BSB
Read the whole chapter (Luke 8)

Who touched me?

A woman had been ill for twelve years and had spent all her money on doctors. According to the law her illness made her unclean. She pushed through the crowd and quietly touched the hem of his garment. She was healed.

She wanted to disappear again unseen. But Jesus stopped and asked who had touched him. Peter thought it a strange question in such a crowd. Jesus didn't want to expose her. He wanted to see her, and he called her daughter.

Question for today

Where am I trying to stay unseen, when Jesus wants to see me?

Prayer

Lord, sometimes I touch you quietly and then want to disappear again. Thank you that you want to see me. Call me by the name you give me. Amen.
