In a recent interview Lady Gaga admitted that for many years her biggest fear was of being alone. In 2017 she confessed ‘I go from everyone touching me all day and talking at me all day to total silence.’ She said, ‘I think my biggest fear was doing life on my own’. She’s now happily engaged, and those days of loneliness are a thing of the past. But her experience is not uncommon – to be in the middle of a crowd and feel lonely.



In Luke’s Gospel we read of a woman who found herself in just such a situation. On the edge of a crowd, she suffered with a health condition that meant she was isolated and alone and had been for many years. The man of the moment, Jesus, was at the centre of the crowd. If only she could get to him perhaps things might change. In her desperation she pushed through the crowd, touched his robe and knew, instantly, that she was healed. Immediately Jesus stopped the crowd and welcomed her. ‘Daughter’, he said, ‘your faith has made you well’.



If you are feeling lonely today remember that Jesus is still the same. If you reach out to him he will stop the crowd and come and find you.
