willing but the flesh is weak.” Judas did not have a willing
spirit. Unbelief has no desire to believe. Faith has a desire to
believe. Weak faith has a desire to believe. Struggling faith
has a desire to believe. God accepts weak or struggling faith as
faith.
The important thing about faith is not faith. The
important thing about faith is the object of your faith. She
didn’t have great faith. She had a little touch. But with a little
touch and a great Savior, she didn’t touch the garment, she
touched the Lord. The reason I know that is because at the cross
the soldiers gambled for the garment. They had the whole
garment and not just the hem. They walked away with His
whole robe. What’s the difference? When she touched it, Jesus
was in the robe. That’s faith; touching Jesus; willingness to

the ordinances without Him? I can relate to a God that I can’t
see. He is praying for me and has promised that we are going
to the other side. Or I can relate to a God who is willing to do
all kinds of miracles for me but then I don’t need faith. Or I can
relate to a God who is walking by and letting me know that it is
Him and that it is under control. The Lord will always deal with
you where you are.
If you fail, He won’t forsake you. He wants you to trust
an invisible God. But if you struggle, He’ll come. He wants to
pass by but if you need Him on the boat, He’ll come on the boat.
If you have little faith, you have a sensitive Savior who feels.
How do I know if I’m trusting the Lord? It’s when I reach out
with my little faith to a sensitive Savior. This is a great
foundation.
Father, thank You so much for Your word. Thank You
that we don’t have to have faith in our faith but we can trust the
