Noticing this pattern in Mark:
1:31 “He...took her by the hand”
5:41 “He took the child by the hand”
8:23 “He took the blind man by the hand”
9:27 “Jesus, taking him by the hand”
He’s never out of touch.
Wherever you are, “even there [His] right hand will hold [you]” Ps139:10
1:31 “He...took her by the hand”

He’s never out of touch.

I come from such a dark place & painful memories of feeling too unclean for Jesus to want to touch. I was wrong about Him. Turned out, Jesus was clean enough for both of us. You can’t be unclean enough to get Jesus dirty. He’s not grossed out by you. If you’re His, you’re clean.
I could not break out of my pattern of sin till I began to believe that what He said He had done for me was true of me. I was clean. Forgiven. Redeemed. Set apart. Loved. Chosen. Planned for. My pattern finally broke because my false beliefs finally broke. Believe God, loved one.
