Leviticus 15:19-25
‘If a woman has a discharge, and the discharge from her body is blood, she shall be set apart seven days; and whoever touches her shall be unclean until evening. Everything that she lies on during her impurity shall be unclean; also everything that she sits on shall be unclean. Whoever touches her bed shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. And whoever touches anything that she sat on shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. If anything is on her bed or on anything on which she sits, when he touches it, he shall be unclean until evening. And if any man lies with her at all, so that her impurity is on him, he shall be unclean seven days; and every bed on which he lies shall be unclean.
‘If a woman has a discharge of blood for many days, other than at the time of her customary impurity, or if it runs beyond her usual time of impurity, all the days of her unclean discharge shall be as the days of her customary impurity. She shall be unclean.
Mark 5:25-28
Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years, and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse. When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment. For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.”
* God does not know me by my issue, He knows me by my name. Be thankful.
Don't get even. Get healed.
* Adjusted pain - incubate dysfunction - it teaches us how to be emotionally numb. You can't have a heart of gratitude and heart of pity the same time.
When you're living a life of purpose it requires for you to pour. What are you pouring? Passion? Peace?
Being alone is rejuvenating.
Have you poured out your heart to people who are attached to you but not assigned to you? There's a difference. People who are assigned to you help you complete tasks. People who are attached to you want to benefit from the tasks that you have completed. When you're in purpose and you pour, being alone is rejuvenating. When you're not in purpose, you can't pour so being alone is aggravating.
Alone and lonely - not the same thing.
CAUSES of Loneliness:
1. Due to childhood
Upbringing has a lot to do with one taking on the nature of being a loner. Parental wounds lead to emotional tombs.
2. Transition
New season
3. Serving Deficiency
4. Deliberate Sin
HOW DO WE OVERCOME LONELINESS:
1. Weapon of Thanksgiving
The way I think is tied to the way I thank
2. Calling and Purpose
Purpose is a fixer
