ALICE LOGAN
- There
- are
- many
- inspiring
- women
- in
- the
- Bible,
- but
- this
- woman
- somehow
- gets
- overlooked.
- Maybe
- it
- was
- her
- condition
- that
- makes
- people
- forget
- her
- faith,
- or
- the
- names
- she
- was
- called
- that
- we
- remember
- more
- than
- what
- she
- was
- called
- by
- Jesus.
- The
- woman
- known
- as
- the
- woman
- with
- the
- issue
- of
- the
- blood
- was
- a
- woman
- of
- persistence,
- devotion,
- and
- tenacity;
- making
- her
- way
- to
- Jesus
- no
- matter
- the
- cost.
- In
- her
- Imperfect
- Pursuit,
- she
- ignored
- the
- crowd
- and
- pushed
- past
- her
- own
- circumstances,
- giving
- her
- all
- just
- to
- get
- to
- Him
- –
- just
- to
- receive
- His
- touch.SEEKING
- JESUS
- IN
- THE
- MIDST
- OF
- PAIN
- AND
- SUFFERINGDEFYING
- ALL
- ODDS
- TO
- MAKE

- WAY

- TRUTH

- YOUR
- HEALING
- AND

- TRANSFORMED
- BY
- HIM…AND
- SO
- MUCH
- MORE!Everything
- she
- lacked
- drove
- her
- to
- pursue
- His
- fullness.
- The
- temporary
- pain
- to
- push
- through
- the
- resistance
- would
- be
- worth
- it
- just
- to
- touch
- Him
- and
- be
- healed
- by
- Jesus.
- She
- would
- have
- to
- endure
- the
- crawl
- through
- the
- crowd
- to
- end
- up
- face-to-face
- with
- the
- One
- who
- knew
- her
- name.
- The
- years
- of
- fighting
- she
- had
- gone
- through
- were
- the
- perfect
- training
- ground
- to
- see
- her
- crawl
- all
- the
- way
- to
- victory.
- She
- was
- completely
- up
- for
- the
- challenge
- -
- even
- if
- it
- killed
- her.Through
- her
- endless
- struggles,
- she
- made
- her
- way
- to
- Him.
- Years
- of
- suffering
- and
- pain
- were
- all
- she
- knew,
- but
- she
- was
- ready
- and
- willing
- to
- know
- something
- else,
- to
- know
- someone
- else,
- to
- know
- Jesus.
- Her
- life
- had
- not
- been
- what
- she
- thought
- it
- would
- be;
- she
- was
- known
- as
- unclean,
- unworthy,
- and
- had
- been
- isolated
- from
- society.
- No
- money,
- no
- doctor,
- and
- no
- man
- could
- help
- her;
- only
- One
- could
- change
- her
- life,
- and
- she
- was
- going
- to
- pursue
- Him
- no
- matter
- the
- cost.
- She
- would
- crawl
- her
- way
- to
- Him
- through
- the
- crowd
- of
- criticism,
- being
- trampled
- with
- her
- every
- breath;
- but
- He
- was
- worth
- it.
- If
- only
- she
- could
- touch
- His
- hem,
- she
- would
- be
- healed;
- that
- is
- what
- she
- knew,
- that
- is
- what
- she
- believed,
- so
- she
- persisted,
- and
- made
- her
- way
- to
- His
- feet.
- She
- received
- His
- touch,
- she
- received
- her
- healing,
- and
- she
- received
- a
- brand
- new
- life
- given
- by
- Him.
- She
- was
- changed,
- transformed,
- and
- could
- now
- tell
- the
- world
- what
- He
- had
- done.
- She
- was
- no
- longer
- hidden
- and
- no
- longer
- silent,
- but
- now
- a
- voice
- declaring
- the
- testimony
- of Jesus.
