Touched By Faith

Touched By Faith

A Poem by Melinda McQueen

Moving along in the crowd,

Forced back in voices loud.

Wanting…. Needing to be near

His grace, she feared.

Knowing to touch Him would be all she needed,

She fought and pleaded.

 

To give up wasn’t a plan,

She had to keep moving -- taking a stand.

She made it up in her mind

To follow the great Divine.

Desperate to touch Him,

If but His garment’s hem.

 

Persisting to reach her King,

She followed her Healer as her faith did cling.

Though the crowd pushed and prodded through the way,

Her eyes on Him stayed.

She had to reach through faith

Even though she could not see His face.

 

Then, suddenly, He turned to look,

As the power within Him thunderously shook.

For He had felt her faith,

And her request He gave.

It caused Him to turn His head

As her soul He fed.

 

Jesus is touched by faith,

And it unleashes His grace.

I hope to ever follow Him

So closely that my faith touches the hem

Of His holiness.

My Rock, my Fortress.

           Mark 5:24-34
