I feel called to emphasize characteristics of Jesus that are not enough talked about in our culture. The sole reason I do this is because I experienced Jesus in this way, and I want to share this experience with others. 

In this post, I want to introduce Him as a rebuilder. 

Someone who builds something again after damage or deconstruction. 

I want to focus on a biblical figure known as the woman with the issue of blood (Mark 5: 25-34). This woman was bleeding for twelve years straight. She visited multiple doctors, but none of them were able to heal her. The bible even mentioned that throughout the years her condition only got worse. On a certain day, Jesus happened to be nearby, and she already heard of him. Or how I would like to call it: She had a revelation of who He was. 

She went through the crowds and touched His robe. She had enough faith to know that if she could only touch his robe, she would be healed. In fact, she did get healed. Jesus felt that healing had gone out of him, noticed the woman, and told her: 

Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace. Your suffering is over – Mark 5:34 

Imagine the life of this woman. How damaged and broken areas of her life have been, because of her condition. 

Can you resonate with this woman? Maybe you have been suffering mentally for years and already tried everything. And are other areas of your life affected, because of your mental suffering? 

I want to encourage you by looking at the response of the woman with the issue of blood. She touched his robe, which is a form of intimacy. 

Her life was rebuilt through intimacy with Jesus. So, even when your life seems damaged beyond repair, Jesus has the ability to rebuild your life.  

Because of Jesus, the suffering of this woman was only temporary. And if you surrender your life to Him, this will apply to you as well. Whether he heals you on this side of eternity or whether it’ll be the moment you transition to heaven, your mental suffering is only temporary. 

I will rebuild you my virgin Israel and you will again be happy and dance merrily with your tambourines. – Jeremiah 31:4
