I woke up this morning with a song in my mind. It is called "She laid hold on the word" and it tells the story of the woman who was healed from an issue of blood. It is found in Luke 19: 43-48 and is a powerful story of what faith can do. I found the song on youtube and had to listen to it several times. I could just feel the strength of those words pouring into me. There is something about the word of God that give strength when we need it the most. The word of God is not just printing on a page. It is alive and powerful and able to touch us. (Hebrews 4:12)
We are in the season we call Christmas when we celebrate the birth of our Saviour; more than celebrating just his birth we are also celebrating the reason he came. Jesus is the living word that came down from heaven so long ago. I believe the underlying reason that He came was to heal us. This healing includes not only our bodies but our minds, souls, and hearts as well. He came to heal broken relationships and to comfort the lonely. In short, whatever healing one needs, Jesus came to be the answer.
If you know of a situation that needs healing today, claim this promise from scripture. Exodus 15:26 says "I am the Lord that heals you". If you know someone who needs healing, whether emotionally or physically, share this scripture with them today. Let them know that Jesus still heals. Share the real meaning of Christmas. Jesus heals!
God Bless,
