A devotional reflection on the woman bent over for eighteen years.
Miracles of Restoration
Jesus sees the suffering others overlook. For eighteen years this woman lived bent over, unable to lift herself. Many ignored her, but Jesus saw her, called her forward, and touched her with compassion. Her healing reveals His heart for those who suffer quietly and long.
Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. (Luke 13:12)
And immediately she was made straight. (Luke 13:13)
He laid his hands on her. (Luke 13:13)
Christian Application

Sample Prayer
Lord, touch the places in my life that have been weighed down for years. Make me whole by Your compassion. Amen.
