Looking For a Cure? Jesus Gives More | Mark 5:30-34

The Daily Devotional by Vince Miller

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day.

And today’s shout-out goes to Kevin Ontiveros from Sylmar, CA. Kevin, thank you for standing with us through Project23. Your support helps deliver healing to people. This one’s for you.

Our text today is Mark 5:30-34:

And Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone out from him, immediately turned about in the crowd and said, “Who touched my garments?” And his disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing around you, and yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’” And he looked around to see who had done it. But the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling and fell down before him and told him the whole truth. And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease.” — Mark 5:30-34

This woman thought she could slip away unnoticed by Jesus. She had reached for healing, and it worked. The bleeding stopped. Her body felt whole. But Jesus wasn’t finished.

“Who touched my garments?”

It’s a strange question in the middle of a crowd. People were pressing in from all sides. But Jesus knew. He felt power leave him—and he wanted to know who received it.

Not because he didn’t know. But because he wanted her to know she wasn’t invisible. She comes forward, trembling. She tells the truth. And Jesus doesn’t scold her. He doesn’t shame her. He gives her a name:

“Daughter!” Not “woman with the issue of blood.” Not “unclean.” Not “interruption.” Daughter.

That’s what Jesus does. He doesn’t just heal the body—he restores the soul. He gives a new name, a new identity, a new peace.

You may come to Jesus because of some issue—but he will always give you more than you came for.

If you’ve ever felt unseen, unnoticed, or unworthy—hear this: Jesus sees you. Jesus knows you. And Jesus calls you daughter... son... his. And if you come to him, he will give you a new life, which is always more than expected.

Are you ready to come?

And if you’re ready to come—come all the way.

Don’t just reach for a quick fix or temporary relief. Come for the deeper healing only Jesus offers.

Jesus, I come to you today. Heal me. Restore me. Make me whole, amen.

ASK THIS:

1. What does Jesus' question “Who touched me?” reveal about his character?
2. Why do you think Jesus called her "Daughter"?
3. Have you ever tried to receive from God without being seen?
4. What healing do you need that only Jesus can provide?

DO THIS:

Today, tell Jesus the whole truth—come to him vulnerably, not just for healing, but for identity and peace.

PRAY THIS:

Jesus, thank you for seeing me when I feel unseen. I come to you for healing, restoration, and the new name only you can give. Amen.
