A Hunch and a Hope

Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.
Mark 5:34

Maybe all you have (is) a crazy hunch and a high hope. You have nothing to give. But you are hurting. And all you have to offer him is your hurt.

Maybe that has kept you from coming to God. Oh, you've taken a step or two in his direction. But then you saw the other people around him. They seemed so clean, so neat, so trim and fit in their faith. And when you saw them, they blocked your view of him. So you stepped back.

If that describes you, not carefully,... one person[whom Christ] commended...for having faith. It wasn't a wealthy giver. It wasn't a loyal follower. It wasn't an acclaimed teacher. It was a shame-struck, penniless outcast-[a woman who had been bleeding for twelve years]- who clutched onto her hunch that he could and her hope that we would.

Which, by the way isn't a bad definition of faith. A conviction that he can and a hope that he will.
He still Moves Stones

Hey everyone,
I didn't write this, it was my daily devotional from Max Lucado titled Grace for the Moment. I felt compelled to share it with all of you, hope you have a great day and rest of the week!! Many Blessings!! Oh and if you havent heard the song by Nicole C Mullen-One Touch(its so awesome) I totally encourage you to take a listen to it.

In Christ Love,
Tabitha
