"You may relate to [the story of the woman who touched Jesus' hem], as well, because we all feel as though we have faults, imperfections, inadequacies. We long to belong, to be apart of the family, to fit in. So, like this woman, we who are wounded come to God, come to Jesus to be made whole. To feel as if we’re acceptable."
