Sometimes it does not taste it is very nice, but we know that it is for our good, so we try not to pull a face. After the trouble that the chemist took to prepare it, we may as well drink it up without grumbling.

A woman who had been ill for years had spent all her money in trying one medicine after another without success. Then she heard of Jesus of Nazareth, a famous healer. "If I can get near enough to touch Him," she said, "I shall be better." So when He came to her village, she crept up behind Him in the crowd, and touched the border of His robe. At once she knew that she was cured. If only she could creep away as quietly as she came, no one would ever know.

"Somebody touched Me," the Lord Jesus said.

"Of course, there are people pressing on You on every side," they said, but that was not what He meant.

"Somebody has been healed," He said.

Trembling, the woman came and told Him all about it.

"Your faith has saved you," He said. "Go in peace."

The Lord Jesus died on the cross to heal those that were sick of sin. Have you trusted this great Physician to make you whole? Have you thanked Him for it ?
