 Truth 

  Mark 5:33
     But the woman, fearing and trembling,
      knowing what had happened to her, 
      came and fell down before Him 
        and told Him the whole truth. 

Crossing over the sea, Jesus came to the multitudes. As a large crowd gathered, a certain woman plagued with an issue of blood strained to touch the hem of His garment. 

                    And Jesus, immediately knowing in Himself that power had gone out of 
                    Him, turned around in the crowd and said, "Who touched My clothes?" 
                                                                                                       Mark 5:30

The woman knew she must tell Jesus what her life had been like, all she had suffered. She also understood there was no time for pretense or denial, Jesus knew why she had come and she must be completely honest. 

How many times have we come to Jesus, and afraid what He might think, justified our actions, or left part of it out completely. Jesus knows what we need from Him, why we have come. 

Have you suffered and need His healing touch? Tell Jesus. Are you angry and need understanding? Tell Jesus. Are you filled with guilt and need forgiveness? Tell Jesus. Are you jealous and know it is wrong? Tell Jesus. Do you harbor bitterness in your heart and need to forgive? Tell Jesus. The woman with the issue of blood fell at Jesus' feet and told Him the whole truth. That is exactly what He requires of us. He desires a heart humbled before Him, reaching out for His healing hand. 

                       For thus says the High and Lofty One
                       Who inhabits the eternity, whose name is Holy:
                      "I dwell in the high and holy place,
                       With him who has a contrite and humble spirit,
                       To revive the spirit of the humble,
                       And to revive the heart of the contrite ones."        Isaiah 57:15

                       The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit,
                       A broken and a contrite heart 
                       These, O God, You will not despise.                     Psalm 51:17
