The Hem of His Garment

“For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.” Matthew 9:21

Today I put aside all fear. Today my faith is no longer stolen. Today I reach out and extend myself as I touch the Hem of His Garment. The flow of sadness, shame, grief, and desperation has left me.

O Lord my God, I cried to you for help, and you have healed me. Instantly I am restored. The chains have fallen off my hands. My bonds have been loosed. My faith has been made well. I will no longer follow my own heart or my own eyes.

I shall not let go

My ears hear a voice behind me saying “This is the way, walk in it”. God will instruct me and teach me the way to go. He will counsel me with one eye upon me. I have made my Tassel and hold it close to me. My heart is made wise. I receive His commandments. I shall obey them.

I will do this with joy and not allow groaning. When I speak, it will come from a place of wisdom. Kindness will flow from my tongue. My words will be gracious. I will create fruit on my lips and say “Peace ,Peace, to the far and to the near. I have grabbed hold of the Hem of His Garment and I shall not let go.
