A Touch from Jesus

A couple of years ago when I was visiting the art studio of Ron DiCianni, he invited me to take my pick of one of his framed prints. “Really?” I said excitedly. I slowly wheeled passed his paintings on various easels, and stopped in front of one called “Divine Healing.” It was the scene from Luke 8:43-48 where the woman who was hemorrhaging reached out, touched the edge of the Lord’s cloak and was healed. Out of nowhere, hot tears filled my eyes and I began sobbing uncontrollably. I had been struggling with pain that week, and this painting described me to a T. Oh, to feel the healing touch of Jesus! Needless to say, that was the framed print I chose to take home. If you are hurting today, read that beautiful story in Luke. Like that woman, reach out in heartfelt prayer to seek a touch from the Lord. He will answer. Just as He answered me that day with something even more precious than ‘pain relief’ – renewed hope, a brighter joy and profound peace. Visit Ron’s website to see more of his wonderful art!
