Daughters - A Seven Day Devotional for WomenSample

Day 1

He sees you.

The woman in Luke 8 had been bleeding for 12 years and needed healing desperately. She believed Jesus had the power to heal her, so when He came through town, she crawled through a crowd just to touch the hem of His robe. She hoped to go unnoticed in the swarm of people, but He noticed her.

He stopped. Amidst a crowd so thick it might have crushed Him, Jesus felt his power leave Him and heal her. He could have just let her be healed and go, and she still would have talked about His power, but Jesus wanted her to know she was seen. She was not a burden to Him. 

This is how we feel sometimes: our burdens are too much or our pain is too difficult to bring to Jesus. If we could just touch the hem of His robe and get what we need, we could move on…right? 

Jesus has the power to heal us, but more important than His healing is His compassion for us. He sees us. He cares about every detail of our lives.

He sees your needs. He sees your fears. He sees your doubts. He sees your desires. He sees your courage. He sees your faith. He sees your heart—the cleaned-up parts and the messy parts. He sees it all, and He still calls you “Daughter.”

It isn’t enough for Jesus to heal and rescue you; He wants you to know that He sees you.
