“Daughter – Your Faith Has Healed You”

In three of the Gospels, we read of a woman whose name is never mentioned, yet her story has echoed through the centuries. She is remembered not for her status, wealth, or accomplishments, but for one thing alone—her faith.

This woman had endured twelve long years of suffering with an incurable condition. Scripture tells us that her illness only grew worse, despite spending everything she had on doctors. Broken in body and in spirit, she had no reason left to hope—until she heard whispers of Jesus.

I imagine the moment her ears first caught His name. Something stirred inside her soul, something she thought had died long ago. Hope.


Reaching for the Hem

When Jesus passed by, she pressed through the crowds with one simple thought: If I just touch His garment, I will be healed (Matthew 9:21). She reached out her hand to grasp the tassel—the fringe of His robe. These tassels, commanded in the Law, were meant to remind Israel to remember the Lord. For her, this single tassel became her lifeline, her cry to God that she had not been forgotten.

Her faith was bold. After years of unanswered prayers and pain, she still dared to believe. And in that one courageous act, she touched Jesus. Scripture says that instantly, she was healed.


The Power of Faith and the Power of Jesus

But the story doesn’t end with her physical healing. Jesus felt power go out from Him and turned to ask, “Who touched Me?” Though the woman tried to hide, trembling and afraid, she finally fell before Him and confessed everything.

It is here, in this intimate exchange, that the miracle deepens. Jesus doesn’t only recognize her act of faith—He gives her a new identity. He looks at her and calls her Daughter.

In that moment, she was not just healed. She was made whole. She was no longer defined by her suffering but by her faith. No longer hidden, she was seen, known, and cherished as daughter.


The Meaning Behind the Painting

In my painting, “Daughter – Your Faith Has Healed You,” I sought to capture this exchange— faith moving towards Jesus and the power of Jesus moving towards faith. It is a reminder that no matter how hopeless life feels, one act of faith can change everything.


Her story invites us to ask: Where do we need to reach out in faith today? Where have we lost hope? The same Jesus who healed her calls us sons and daughters, inviting us to step out of hiding and into wholeness.
