    Kindness and gentleness are fruits of the Spirit. If there were a trial today and being kind and gentle were a crime, would there be enough evidence to convict us?

    The lady with chronic bleeding stole a cure from Jesus, who commends her great faith. We learn from her to come as you are to Jesus, believe the impossible, and receive Jesus' healing. True faith never limits God but is open to whatever God wants to do.
