And He said to me, "Talitha cumi"

"Taking her by the hand He said to her, "Talitha cumi," which means, "Little girl, I say to you, arise."-Mark 5:41

I sometimes feel like that 12 year old girl. Whose father, Jairus, ruler of the synagogue, seeing Jesus fell at His feet and impored Him earnestly sayings, "my little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay Your hands on her, so that she may be made well and live."
Jesus along the way to go heal her, a women who had a discharge of blood for twelve years had great faith that if even by the touch of his garments she would be healed. Jesus perceived in Himself that power had gone out for Him. While He was still speaking to the women, there came from the ruler's house some who said, “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?”  But overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue (Jairus), “Do not fear, only believe.” And He allowed no one to follow him except Peter and James and John the brother of James. They came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and Jesus saw a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. And when He had entered, He said to them, ^“Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but sleeping.” And they laughed at Him. But He put them all outside and took the child's father and mother and those who were with him and went in where the child was.

Do not fear, only believe. Have faith in the Son of Man. Trust Christ. He is the ressurection and the life.

Jesus comes to me, takes me by the hand, and tells me, "Talitha cumi". Little girl, I say to you, arise!
I woke up this morning feeling like that little girl. Dead. In my case, bombarded by all the things that are currenting going on in my life.Organize my room, write a speech, send emails, reply to emails, write letters, gather letters. Overwhelmed with life decisions and conversations I need to have. Reconcile with a certain some in my life. But then I was reminded that Christ is with me. He takes my hand and tells me to get up. I wake up and live by faith. By the hope that I have in Him. He upholds me and under His shadow I abide. For it is written, "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.” (Psalm 91:1-2).

"You take my hand, You guide me on, You show me the way to life. You lift my head, You give me hope, You show me the way to life."
