This situation she was in must have taken a serious toll on her physical body, her mind and psychological well-being. She had expended all her property, but only grew worse- Mk 5:26. You can just imagine her fear of touching Jesus and the anxiety brought on by this fear, her action was like an abomination, she therefore took a great gamble.
Matthew 9:20 says that she touched the hem of his garment. This garment was probably the square garment which was thrown over the shoulders. This was surrounded by a border, or fringe; and this fringe, or the loose threads hanging down, is what is meant by the hem. The Jews were commanded to wear this in order to distinguish them from other nations- See Nu 15:38,39, De 22:12
Imagine being in this condition for not two weeks (average period of time a woman should have this condition), but for twelve (12) long and depressing years? Can you imagine living in a society, home or environment where people, even your family and close friends would scorn you, you feel like an outcast by your own people, rejected and probably destitute because you’re not able to work and no one will go anywhere near you?
The woman realize that the doctors could not help her and she was in a dire situation, and thus hearing of the miracles of Jesus decided that if she could touched the hem of his garment, she will be set free from the issue of the blood; seeing her opportunity she therefore made use of it. This woman reminds me of the man that layed at a pool by the sheep market (St John 5:2-9) for thirty eight (38) long years. He also had lost all hopes when Jesus came his way as he saw no way out of his situation. Having an infirmity for many years is enough to cause even the most faithful to start losing faith and become comfortable in their depressive condition. Nevertheless he remains there waiting, waiting for his deliverance. Probably your in a similar situation for years and need Jesus to pass your way, desperately and eagerly you sit there, waiting.
Now see this.After pressing her way through and touching Jesus garment she was healed, immediately; it is important to understand that this was not an ordinary touch, but it was a significant and desperate touch mixed with faith as when she touched the hem of his garment Jesus said that he felt virtue left his body; he therefore inquired about who touched him. The same story in Mark says that the woman, being very fearful and trembling, came and told him the truth. Perhaps she feared that, from the impure nature of her disease, he would be offended that she touched him.
Trust In the Lord with all your heart.
God bless you.
