Can I Push Through?

Can I push through the pain?

Discard the rejection?

Turn from self-pity?

Tell fear it doesn’t win?

 

Can I be like the woman?

Broken, bleeding—yet hopeful,

Twelve years an outcast,

Asking, “God, is this Your will?”

 

Can I push past the people?

Weave through the crowds?

Ignore the rude glances?

Seek help ‘coz I’m not too proud?

 

She came from behind Jesus,

Not wanting to draw attention

Feeling unworthy and broken

Yet her faith drew her to Him.

 

He turned and He saw her,

He called her, “Daughter,”

He commended her faith

Which through trials did not falter.

 

Can I chase after my Savior?

Touch the hem of His cloak?

Let desperation drive me?

Till in His presence, I soak.

 

He turns and He sees me

He calls me His precious child

Can I push through rejection?

Because on the Cross for me, He died.

 

 

Reading

Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. ²¹ She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.”Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart, daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed at that moment. (Matthew 9:20-22)

Prayer

Heavenly Father, As I navigate past hurt and rejection, help me push past the doubt and the darkness. Help me find my way to You. Help me be vulnerable enough to reach out knowing that You see me and You call me Your own. In Jesus’ name. Amen
