God has a way of setting things in motion to demonstrate His power and authority. One family receives their first and only child, a beautiful daughter to love and enjoy. A woman nearby begins hemorrhaging inexplicably. One family receives the joy of family while the other individual lives in exile, unclean, and detached from society. Twelve years later their stories would intersect in desperation as they sought out Jesus for a miracle. The father brings word that his daughter is dying. The woman is spent in every way, and it is Jesus who is their only hope for healing. These two narratives interwoven in scripture, remind us that Jesus is more moved by your faith than your circumstance. “Don’t fear. Only believe.” Luke 8:40-56
