In Mark 5: 22-34, the woman with the issue of blood had a singular goal. Her thirst, her quest for healing was hemmed on touching Jesus’ garment. She knew without any doubt that once she could touch him, she would be fine, healed, and made whole.

She was not concerned about others who wanted an appointment with Jesus. Mark 5:28: “For she thought to herself, “If I can just touch his robe, I will be healed.” Luke 8:44 “Pressing in through the crowd, she came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of his garment. Instantly her bleeding stopped and she was healed.” (TPT).

Her thirst and desire for healing did not allow her to stop until she touched Jesus and got her healing.

One thing heaven can never ignore is a hungry or thirsty soul. God cannot ignore a broken reed. If he cared for the sparrows and the lilies, how much more does he care for you?

King David knew that God couldn’t overlook a contrite heart. When you are hungry, heaven cannot ignore you. Your thirst draws heaven into your situation.
