Your Faith Doesn't Need to be Perfect
Commentators note the woman's faith was mixed with fear, weakness, and even superstition. Yet, Jesus didn't rebuke her for her imperfect approach. Instead, He commended her faith and healed her. Scholars explain that Jesus looks at the sincere desire to reach out to Him, not the perfection of our understanding. Your trembling faith is enough to touch the all-powerful Savior.
