And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.
He reached out, took her hand, and helped her stand up. Then he called all the believers and widows over and showed them, she was fully alive again.
Sometimes God doesn't just heal you quietly, he wants everyone to see his power in action.
