People who are hurting can\u2019t always move as quickly as others. There are two important lessons for you in her story. <\/p>\n<p> (1)<i> Sometimes you won\u2019t grow and mature as fast as others because you\u2019ve been struggling with a debilitating problem for a long time. <\/i>What seems easy for others can be very difficult for you. But there is good news: Jesus will wait for you, and He will work with you until you overcome  your problem.  <\/p>\n<p>(2)<i> Your testimony will come out of the tests you have been through. <\/i>And no matter what you have been through, today Jesus is calling you. He is saying, \u2018Get up! You can approach Me.\u2019 Regardless of what you have done or what you have suffered, He is calling you. <\/p>\n<p>You may think your secret is worse than anyone else\u2019s. Rest assured that God knows all about it. And His promise is this: <i>\u2018I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with loving\u2013kindness I have drawn you\u2026 I will build you, and you shall be rebuilt.\u2019<\/i> (Jeremiah\u00a031:3\u20134\u00a0NKJV) Like a master sculptor creating something beautiful out of a raw piece of rock, God can turn your mess into a message of hope for others. The reason Satan has attacked you is because you have something valuable to contribute. <\/p>\n<p> This woman\u2019s story ends with these words: <i>\u2018The multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by Him.\u2019<\/i> (Luke\u00a013:17\u00a0NKJV) God\u2019s plan is to have people look at your life and say, \u2018Something has happened to you; you\u2019re not the same person anymore!\u2019<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lifefmfiji.org\/soulfood\/\">SoulFood<\/a>: Est 5\u201310, Luke 17:1\u201319, Ps 18:1\u201329, Pro 26:24\u201327<\/p>\n<p><em style=\"color: #41423d; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; line-height: 18px;\">The Word for Today<\/em><span style=\"color: #41423d; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; line-height: 18px;\"> is authored by Bob and Debby Gass and published under licence from UCB International Copyright \u00a9<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018When Jesus saw her, He called her to Him.\u2019 Luke\u00a013:12\u00a0NKJV We don\u2019t know how long it took this woman to get to the front of the church when Jesus called her.
