Have you touched someone today? There are so many ways that we can affect someone by just a touch and we can do this in so many different ways. I am captivated by the word “touch” today. It only took the slightest touch from the hand of Jesus and a life was changed forever. Some of His most famous touches caused the blind to see and the sick to be healed. But there is another touched that was just as life changing. Jesus was able to change many lives with the touch of His words. He spoke life into Lazarus with just His words. John 12:17, “Therefore the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of his tomb and raised him from the dead, bore witness.” To be able to affectively change a life for the better with our words is a gift that was implanted in man from the creation of Adam. If we speak words of love it brings feelings of warmth and joy which can change your entire day. If we speak words of anger and hate, it can bring so many different emotions and these emotions are not easy to get rid of. Emotions can change you for a day or even for a lifetime. Then our Savior came and made “touch” even more powerful. He taught us how to use our touch to change anger into love, to heal on the inside as well as on the outside. He taught us about the “touch” of love. “Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies.” 1 Corinthians 8:1 A kind “touch” to a stranger turns a “touch” into a seed. The way we “touch” others, itself is a witness to our belonging to Christ. I’ve shown complete strangers my “touch” and they knew instantly that I loved the Lord. And the best thing of all is that the “touch” of love doesn’t cost a thing. I’m talking about true love and not imitation. True love profits us and never takes anything away. The “touch” that can change a life for eternity. So I’ll ask you once again. Have you touched someone today? Be Blessed.
