Just as He hears You
January 14, 2012
A woman who had spent all of her money on doctors, after being ill for twelve years, touches Jesus cloak. A miracle happened as she cried out and reach out to Jesus. The same happens today. He hears us and always responds. God hears the human cries. Click here to read the story.
A large crowd came to see him
He stood there on the sea shore
Jairus fell at his feet
“My daughter is dying”
“Will you come and heal?
She is only twelve years old”
He begged Jesus to come
“If you will put your hands on her
I know she will not die”
He left with the crowd
Traveling toward Jairus’ House
In the crowd was a woman
An outcast by law
Bleeding for twelve years
Unclean by purity laws
She suffered greatly
All of her money was gone
She touched the hem of his cloak
She touched his cloak and was healed
She could feel that she was clean
Whole from touching his garment
He could feel her touch
Jesus felt the power leave
His response was, “Who touched me?”
Everyone was silent
All were touching him
Then the silence was broken
This woman came forth and spoke
His gaze fell on the woman
She dropped to her knees
Shaking, fearful and amazed
“I am the one who touched you”
He listened to her story
He heard why she came
“Because you believe, you’re healed”
Go in peace now and stay well
He heard the cry of her heart
Just as he hears yours
Faithful

You will feel better
When you choose a cheerful heart
It’s good medicine
~
Circumstances will rob you
If you let them control you
Others make expectations
You must meet their needs
~
How absurd is this
To make you responsible
To meet all their needs
~
If you cover an offense
You promote genuine love
If the matter’s repeated
Separation comes
~
A person of knowledge
Will measure words carefully
Stay even tempered
Understanding will guide you
A loving presence brings life
~
I will hold my tongue
Pay attention to others
Listen carefully
I am choosing to respond
To love when misunderstood
~
I will not react
This is the way of a fool
A way I have lived
~
There’s a place of peace
That passes understanding
That’s bigger than death
~
Christ has arisen
He offers each one his peace
Forgiveness and love
~
Do not be afraid
There is no reason for fear
You’re beloved by God

Indescribable peace

I will help others
The way I was helped
My strength was wasted
Resulting in my “burn out”
I could not save my own life
~
A love much larger than me
Intervened and came seeking
Indescribable peace
Anointed me with joy

Look at your expectations
Of yourself and of others
Look at someone whose healthy
Who lives in real joy
You find at the center
Love, and respect for oneself
A way to deal with failure
Your own and also others
The question I have
How do I help a person
See that they are loved
How do I live in real peace
With those who are close to me
I discovered forgiveness
A personal quest
