Be Of Good Comfort

"But Jesus when he truned him about, he saw her, and he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole.  And the woman was made whole from that hour."  Matthew 9:22.  This woman had a disease that doctors had been unable to cure.  Mark 5:26.  Now, she encountered Jesus.  She reached out and touched Him believing that He had the power to cure her.  Faith reaches out to Jesus.  Faith surrenders to the power of Christ.  Jesus saves through faith.  Without faith, we cannot enjoy the blessings of God.  Without faith, we cannot know the cleansing power of Christ.  When in faith, we come to Christ in total surrender to His will, He makes us whole.  When our sins are purged, we know comfort.  Faith is full assurance in the will of God, and the promises that come as we are obedient to His will.  This comfort that God provides through faith is a constant comfort.  Our souls rest in comfort as we abide in Christ.  "Be of good comfort."
