Hi, I'm Susie Larson. Thanks for listening to this podcast from Susie Larson Live.

You don't have to matter of it's not him of sense we've got you love well you're

always honored to get to spend this time with you in fact i look forward to bringing you

conversations every single day that hopefully inspire you in your faith walk the deep in your

understanding of god's word and that heightens your awareness of his very real presence in your life

well you probably know this about me i read nonfiction books every single day to prepare for this of God's word and that heightens your awareness of his very real presence in your life.

Well, you probably know this about me. I read nonfiction books every single day to prepare for this show. And then I read fiction for fun. And there's nothing quite like reading a nonfiction

book that reads like a novel. If that's what I have in my hands today, I want you to listen to

this. It's just powerful. Jesus knows her name. He steps forward. He's so glad to see her.

He's missed her. And he's been looking forward to this moment for a long time. He chose this road

because he knew it wound near her house because while her body is battered and torn, it's her heart

that's broken. In this moment, Jesus has already healed her body. The fountain of her blood has already dried up.

He's calling her forward because he's about to heal her heart. Then all of the words he could have

spoken. He says the one singular word she needs to hear, daughter. The word echoes inside or dancing

around her insides like pinball until comes to rest in that place in her gut where her soul lives down where her

hope is buried scripture doesn't say it but i think jesus reaches out and lifts her

raises her up in front of everyone else and hugs her tightly while she weeps on his shoulder he

welcomes this daughter back into the family and then just so everybody knows and to ensure there's

no doubt no question question, he says,

your faith has healed you. Somewhere in there it hits her, I'm healed. It's over. I am what I once

was, what I've always longed to be. This knowing spreads across her face. I am a child of God.

Isn't that brilliant? Charles Martin joins me again. He was just on a few weeks ago to talk
