So many things seek our attention. 

Our hearts and minds can feel divided. 

We long to receive a touch from Jesus, 

So that everything feels right again. 

People, life and busyness, 

Pull us in all directions. 

His Word, His power and His creation, 

Touch our hearts and give us strength and motivation. 

Motivation to seek Him and be obedient. 

Desire to help, heal and love. 

Connection with others to show them, 

How they can receive His touch from above. 

Inspired by the following Scripture Passages: 

"The entire crowd eagerly tried to come near Jesus so they could touch Him and be healed, because a tangible supernatural power emanated from Him, healing all who came close to Him. Luke 6:19 (The Passion Translation)

"In the crowd that day was a woman who had suffered greatly for twelve years from slow bleeding. Even though she had spent all that she had on healers, she was still suffering. Pressing in through the crowd, she came up behind Jesus and touched the tassel of His prayer shawl. Instantly her bleeding stopped and she was healed.

Jesus suddenly stopped and said to his disciples, “Someone touched me. Who is it?”

While they all denied it, Peter pointed out, “Master, everyone is touching you, trying to get close to you. The crowds are so thick we can’t walk through all these people without being jostled.”

Jesus replied, “Yes, but I felt power surge through me. Someone touched Me to be healed, and they received their healing.”

When the woman realized she couldn’t hide any longer, she came and fell trembling at Jesus’ feet. Before the entire crowd, she declared, “I was desperate to touch you, Jesus, for I knew if I could just touch even the fringe of your robe I would be healed.”

Jesus responded, “Beloved daughter, your faith in Me has released your healing. You may go with My peace.” Luke 8:43-48 (TPT)
