"... As Jesus was on His way, the crowds almost crushed Him. And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years, but no one could heal her. She came up behind Him (Jesus) and touched the edge of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped. 'Who touched me?' Jesus asked. When they all denied it, Peter said, 'Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you.' But Jesus said, 'Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me.' Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at His feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched Him and how she has been instantly healed. Then He said to her, 'Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.'" Luke 8:42-48 Nowadays we see many icons and slogans everywhere around us. "Just do it", Rain, Heroes etc. It is so common til' it's resided at the back of our heads. In this post-modern society, everyone's out to capture attention, at least some, from us.How about the answer your friends will give when it comes to knowing anyone who is like Jesus? Sometimes, we put on spirituality only when the situation calls for it, or when we're in church. In our circumstances, faith and prayer tends to be the last on our list. Has it occured to us that hey, we should be praying and believing above our nature to think of possible solutions! Demonstrating faith in our Lord isn't about knowing with full certainty that our problem will go away. It's about not relying on sight and with the attitude of boldness. It is about being unashamed of being known as a child of God. The Bible speaks about the faith of the sickly woman, and it is remembered for generations. We can also be a 'sore thumb' (to be outstanding) amongst our friends as someone of faith and assurance in Jesus Christ. We don't have to do great things to show that we have faith! Start small. God asks us to start with a faith as small as a mustard seed! In our academic or work results, in health, in relationships etc. You never know how much impact you can make with that action that comes from your faith in Him! For the sick woman, it was her inward confidence in Jesus that motivated her outward display of faith. We may not be known to many, but we can too be that lighthouse that our friends in our schools or colleagues in our workplaces can look to. Have faith in Jesus. Faith that is UNASHAMED. Look Forward to!: Ignite Conference 2008 up next! Yeah! We wanna see how God has been moving in the schools of our nation!
