"Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.”
Matthew 9:20-21
How to believe when there is no hope left? What should be done when all the resources that have been used have been spent and a solution to the problem is still not found? How can you trust when everything works against and it seems that the sun ceased to exist? I can only imagine how this woman must have felt. How difficult and painful it must have been for this woman to live for twelve years with a disease that had no cure, a disease that made her impure in the eyes of society. I wonder how many jokes and rejections this woman had to endure because of her illness. I imagine the desolation that must have felt all those times that the doctors told her that nothing could be done to cure her. How great her pain must have been. How great her desperation must have been to know that there was no solution to her problem. I can see her at that moment when she was alone in her room crying bitterly, feeling as if the world was falling on her, asking God with great desperation to heal her. I can see her crying without strength, without faith, without hope, lying on the ground deciding to surrender, and just at that moment she hears the roar of the crowd that passed with the Master. I can see her stand up trembling and lean out the window and think "there is Jesus, He can heal me, I know that if I only touch the edge of his mantle I can be healthy". Just then she decides to put aside all her fears, and without thinking about what people would say or think, she entered the crowd to touch the edge of the Master's mantle. In the end, her faith saved her. This teaches me that faith is the only weapon that can overcome the problem. When it seems there is no solution, only faith in Christ can give you the freedom you need. No matter how negative the diagnosis or circumstances are, for God everything is possible. We only have to have faith that He will work in our favor and that He will always do it in the perfect time. I know that it is not easy to wait in God's time, but remember that "those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary,they will walk and not be faint." As a princess of God, today I decide to hold on to faith.
