Of the Woman With the Issue

Of the Wowan with the Issue (Luke 8: 43-48) ———————————- No synonyms to speak… No other lines To divert from this focus… No parallels existing to such A tale of faith to power, I am forever touched By the telling Of a simple sister’s soul from Deep Rising — In her desperate struggle To reach for An any touch Of him — Who she Knew in Truth Could…Would be Her…And for the every one, The Omnipotent - here has come! Finally The healing By any simple touch of The King of kings. ——————————————————- (c) sally young eslinger 7/4/22 Thanks be to God….

Yes Sister in Christ Jesus: this "event" in Jesus earthly Ministry - touches all who read Bible with open minds & hearts. The number 12 is important, as with every detail in the Bible. However, when we try to touch Jesus ... We magically touch the Hand of Healer-Creator-Master-Artist & Lover-extraordinaire. Thank u for yr rendition, U made my week! Shalom shalom

Sister in Christ Jesus, I love the bible. I was a hater if it, until I read US history ... Appreciated Washington & Jefferson for their humblecwisdom ( none on earth is perfect but when Jesus walked it). I mean ... Nothing helps me & my humanity as Bible taught from thecWird,both old & new testament perspectives, yet humbly. We are often carried to extremes by emotions ( see Charismatics about holy spirit. He is never did ided; all of this Person comes into our hearts upon salvation. No apistle today can give us more if Spirit. See Jesus's baptism, fire in acts 2: none was/ is slain the the spirit! Why?)

Anii, your comment flies to greet my poet’s soul. We need to get to know each other better! Except for limericks, I try/want to some way edify our beloved Abba. Thank you for your words here. I am supported. Hugs, in Jesus, sally
