"Thugater" is the Greek word for daughter. Mark, in 5:21-34 tells the story of the woman who had bled for twelve years and Jesus' healing her. She had faith enough to know that if she only touched Him she would be physically healed. Jesus knew He offered her so much more than that. He offered her emotional and spiritual healing, too. He didn't let her get away without showing her that, either.
How many times in my life has God reminded me through the gift of Jesus' sacrifice, through the prompting of the Holy Spirit and through the resolution of situations in my life that He loves me more than just enough to see me physically ok - He offers me wholeness emotionally and spiritually as well.
I rest, every day, as a Thugater... I am a Daughter of God.
