He sees you in your faith
She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.” Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart, daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed at that moment. Matthew 9:21-22
Jesus came to heal, encourage, and restore. In Matthew 9:22 it He says ‘your faith has healed you.’” This woman had suffered for twelve years. Her condition was hidden, but her pain was constant. She had spent everything she had searching for healing, yet nothing worked. Then she heard that Jesus was passing by and in faith, she reached out and touched the edge of His garment, believing she would be healed. In an instant, everything changed her body was restored.
But something even greater happened next. But one day, she hears that Jesus is in town and he is on his way to heal a dying girl. This was her chance! She had to move. She knew, “If I only touch his garment, I will be made well.” So as he passes her on the crowded street, she sees him, and she touches the fringe of his robes. And that’s all it took. She was healed; the bleeding stopped. Her constant companion for twelve years was gone. But almost immediately following, something greater happens. The spiritual healing was not far behind.
“Jesus turned and seeing her…” He saw her.
Jesus feels the power leave his body; he turns and knows exactly who touched him… And when she comes forward and admits that it was her, he looks into her eyes and sees her. Can you imagine what Jesus saw?
“Jesus turned and seeing her…”
Seeing her soul, seeing her vulnerability, seeing her hurts, seeing her hopes, seeing her faith. He saw her for who she was in that moment… faithful. I feel he must have seen her past and her future as well. He sees her and that’s all it took. She had faith. Jesus saw her. End of story. Well, beginning.
Jesus sees you. He sees your hurts, your fears and your hopes.
So please be encouraged that when you are walking through life, and you feel invisible, defeated, alone, or just done… just know, He sees you!
Prayer for Today: Lord, thank You that You see me even when I feel unseen. Help me to trust Your presence in every season and rest in Your care for me. Amen.
