Touching the Hem of His Garment : What the Wealthy
has that Money Can't Buy!
“And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched. And Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, “Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, “Who touched me?”” And Jesus said, “Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me”. And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately. And he said unto her, “Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace”. (St. Luke 8: 43 -48, KJV)
Healthy kidneys, lungs, liver, normal blood, all of your hair on your head, and energy are normal attributes of a healthy person. In the meantime, a person with an auto-immune disease would be wishing all those things a healthy person has existed for them.
There are days I would wake up full of energy, I didn’t take it for granted. Other days I pushed myself to get out of bed. I’m recovering from a lupus flare-up that actually lasted about two years or so.
Lupus is an auto-immune disease that can attack any organ of your body; blood, kidney, liver, heart, lungs, skin etc.
