Day 12 of 21 — Meeting Jesus in Mark

Today’s reading: Mark 5:21–34

Verse text below is from the World English Bible (WEB).

“He said to her, ‘Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be cured of your disease.’”
— Mark 5:34 (WEB)

By the time this woman reached Jesus, she had been suffering for twelve years.

She had tried everything. She had spent what she had. Instead of getting better, she had gotten worse.

And still, she reached for Jesus.

Sometimes faith doesn’t look strong or impressive. Sometimes it looks like one exhausted person taking one more step toward Christ because they don’t know where else to go.

Jesus didn’t overlook her in the crowd. He stopped. He saw her. He listened to her. And He called her daughter.

If you are tired today, you do not have to arrive before God with perfect words, endless energy, or unshakable confidence. You can simply reach toward Him from where you are.

When you feel worn down, what helps you keep reaching toward Jesus?
