Act With Faith and Without Fear

Do not be afraid, act with faith and you will see a miracle. There is a passage we read in Luke chapter 8, in which a man named Jairus, had a twelve years old daughter, who was dying and he came to Jesus, pleading with him to come home with him. As Jesus went with him, a messenger arrived and told Jairus: Your daughter is dead. But when Jesus heard what had happened, he said to Jairus: Don’t be afraid. Just have faith, and she will be healed. When they arrived at the house, Jesus took her by the hand and said in a loud voice: My child, get up! And at that moment her life returned, and she immediately stood up! In that same passage, while Jesus went with Jairus, a woman who had suffered an illness for twelve years and could find no cure, coming up behind Jesus, she touched the fringe of his robe and immediately, she was healed. But Jesus said: Someone touched me, for I felt healing power go out from me. When the woman realized that she could not stay hidden, she explained why she had touched him and that she had been immediately healed. Jesus said to her: Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace. What is the lesson? Fear and worry will not solve your problems, but having faith in the mighty power of God, will do it, if you act according to that faith.
