We all have issues. Some of us have big issues others have small issues but it can be certain that we all have issues. Some of us have come to realize that we have issues while others of us are still trying to figure out what’s wrong with everyone else in the world

It is worse for a person who does not realize that they have issues simply because since he does not realize that he has issues then he will probably never do anything to fix those issues. Although he will probably easily be able to tolerate himself no one around him will be able to tolerate him.

For the person that has come to realize that they have issues and is smart enough to do something about it then the process of solving these issues can take the person on quite a journey. It can be expensive, timely, painful etc. However when a person attempts to fix their issues there can be many new issues that start from this attempt.

For example if a person has an issue with paying bills on time. After considering all of their options they decide that the quickest and easiest way to solve their problems would be to go and take out a loan to help pay the bills. They may have temporarily fixed the problem for the immediate bills but more times than not in the long run they have created new issues. They have probably successfully added to the issues that they are already having a tough time dealing with.

But this woman had an issue, She had been dealing with this issue for twelve years now. When a person deals with something that long they can get the idea that they would rather just go ahead and live with the issue than continue to search and spend on ways to solve the problem. The bible says that she had spent all that she had. She had also went to the doctor several times, And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,).

This lady was obviously not poor because she would not have been able to see any doctor if she did not have any way to compensate them for their services. The woman had to be a little disheartened about the fact that she had tried so hard to solve her problems yet she could not see any healing. The bible says that with all of her efforts her condition only got worse.

I am sure that the woman considered the thought of giving up on the issue and trying to live with the issue as if it was supposed to be like this. It was impossible for this woman to lead any type of normal life with this issue because since the woman had an issue of blood society looked at her as if she was unclean

Since she was unclean she should have been prohibited from being around let alone touching anyone. Even if she did touch someone then she should have never touched any man. The possibility of marriage was never thought about.

It is truly a good thing that this woman of God did not think like many of us in today’s society. It is good that she did not think that she needed to clean herself up first before she could approach him that could heal her. If the same situation happened today the lady probably would have been arrested for getting too close to such a powerful man.

When the woman touched Jesus the one thing that she had been missing all of this time had been immediately restored to her.

And the issue of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her issue. She had been searching for this thing and couldn’t figure out exactly what it was. Whatever it was came to her immediately when she touched Jesus. The woman felt her body heal. She did not know what had happened and after all of her hard work and searching for someone to heal her when she finally found someone who could actually heal her the healing in her body made her frightened. It was not that she was healed that frightened her but it was the way that she was healed and by whom she was healed that made her frightened But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came down and fell before him, and told him all the truth.).

The fear that this woman felt represented the fact that she was immediately filled with the knowledge of God.

She had an idea of who he was and what he was but the fact that she was suddenly healed overtook her and she was immediately blessed with this new knowledge along with the healing of her issues. Some of us need to get some issues in our lives fixed but are we really sure that we know who Jesus is.
