Touching Jesus

Crowds
Surrounded Him
Jostling to be near.
A desperate woman
Seeking healing
Clutched His clothing
Without fear.

Immediately
Jesus knew;
Sensed the power
Of her faith;
His healing flowed
And made her new.

Are you
In the curious crowd?
Or do you need
His touch?
Activate your faith
For what you need
So much!
Reach out to Jesus
And Touch -
Him.
