This is my desire...comsume me like a fire...cause all I want.... is something beautiful to touch me ....I know that I'm in reach cause I'm down on my knees waiting on.... something beautiful.
-NeedtoBreath
When I hear this song my mind immediately falls into a scene full of people crowded in a town square waiting for a glimpse of this proclaimed son of man to appear. When this son of man finally arrives and makes his way through the crowd, all spectators fight and jockey for position to recieve a miracle or just to see what he looks like. Little do all those spectators know that there is a woman who stands in the back, stricken with a disease that she can't bare to withstand any longer and she knows if she can just touch his robe that she may just find a change that breaks the chains of diease that has conquered her life for its existance. With all the faith within her body she crawls and with each yard she covers, she see a day that she can be happy, with each foot that she gets closer she see no more sleepless nights in her future and within the inch of touching his Garment she see's something beautiful!
Too often were within reach of what we want and the miracle we need but we refuse to fight, and we choose to fear. Too often we ignore what a polo stricken president told us as he rose to address a nation in fear of another world war at hand. He said, "There is nothing to fear but fear itself!" For the only thing we should fear in this life is the fact that we do fear for we shouldn't! The reason being, on that day in that town square Jesus didn't heal that woman, her faith in him did and if we have faith then there is no fear for the two can not and will not coincide! God is unchanging, even today in this life right now if we look to the sky and pray to a this great God for a miracle it won't happen unless we believe that he can do it. My Aunt Karen Chandler knows because what she waited on happened, when that doctor walked in and said I can't find a spot of Lupus in your body. She didn't get there by wishing but her faith reached and touched. God has just blessed me with something I've waited so long for but I'm fearful right now of what this world has to say about what I have recieved but through Aunt Karen's faith and that hemorrhaging woman from Capernaum, today and here on out I'm no longer fearful because what they say matters not! Because words are invisible and takes no root in a mortal man's heart unless he allow them and has no effect on a God who don't hear those words unless a tangible action is attached to them. Like a woman who I can't mention enough, who didn't just wish to get through a thick crowd only to touch the hem of a robe, but a woman who said to the Lord, I need this and even if I get crushed under the crowd I will come within reach and touch you! Do not shame at what they say as you crawl, do not fear the thickness of the crowd, do not coward at the impossible situation but fight and touch what is waiting for you....god bless you and god bless these United States of America!
