If you’re struggling today, remember that with just one touch, Jesus will answer you with renewed hope, a brighter joy and profound peace.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada, and once when I was visiting the art studio of Ron DiCianni, he invited me to take my pick of one of his framed prints. Man, I was so excited. So, I slowly wheeled passed his paintings on various easels, but I stopped in front of one. It was the scene from Luke 8 where the woman who was hemorrhaging touched the edge of the Lord’s cloak and she was healed. Out of nowhere, hot tears filled my eyes, and I began sobbing. I had been struggling with pain all that week, and the painting described me to a T. Needless to say, that was the framed print I took home. So, if you are struggling today, read that beautiful story in Luke 8. Reach out in heartfelt prayer to seek a touch from the Lord. And he will answer. Just as he answered me that day with something far more precious than ‘relief from my pain’ – he answered with renewed hope, a brighter joy and profound peace.
