An Act of Faith


Mark 5:25-34 (NIV)

25 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. 26 She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. 27 When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, 28 because she thought, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.” 29 Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.

30 At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?”

31 “You see the people crowding against you,” his disciples answered, “and yet you can ask, ‘Who touched me?’ ”

32 But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. 33 Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. 34 He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.”

The Woman Who Raised Me

    Susee in Chilukuru, Andhra Pradesh (1981) I had the most pure, loving and beautiful mother. She was my best friend, my shining light, my first love, my baby girl and my hero. Mummy was filled with kindness, laughter, prayer and goodness. She was as fun-loving as she was solemn and wise. She gave everything to my family: kept us healthy, safe, confident and happy.

Bullies may have tormented her but she never bowed down to them. She had the courage to face them, f...

Bavaiah (brother-in-law)

Susee with Solomon Injety (husband of Ethel ) SDA General Conference, Indiana, 1990 (photograph: Ethel Injety) My acquaintance with (Chanty) Susee Mable Anandaraju was from her childhood.  "IT IS NEVER EASY TO LET GO". Adjustment to the death of a loved one requires a recognition of the reality of the loss, even though it feels impossible.  Her role as a wife and mother was second to none. Susee was an Angel from her childhood. A soft spoken, cool mind and her family was her world, and she trusted God in all her ways more than any one.  Her journey was over on the rough roads of this world and looking forward to walk on the Golden path in Heaven where we should all strive to join her. God bless her.  Bavaiah Solomon Injety Update : Read the 2017 tribute by Solomon Injety
