Today's verse is Mark 5:24-28 with Jennifer Slattery.
So Jesus went with him. A large crowd followed and pressed around him. And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, because she thought, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.”
"Jesus is a tender, compassionate Savior who sees and cares about our external problems - but His love goes so much deeper. It penetrates to our most hidden, most wounded places in order to make us whole."
