THAT PERSONAL TOUCH

THAT PERSONAL TOUCH Two thousand years ago It wasn't quite so easy To keep in touch with people No telephone-no face book- No instagram-e-mail-or even twitter PERSONAL TOUCH ONLY “For God did not give us A spirit of cowardice But rather of power And love-and self-control” 2 Timothy 1:7 Don't get me wrong=I use Face book and e-mails daily But I have never sent a text In my life-NOT even one I still like to give people A HUG- HAND WRITE notes and cards And send birthday cards THAT PERSONAL TOUCH “She said to herself, 'If I only TOUCH his cloak I will be HEALED'” “Jesus said to her, 'Take heart daughter,' He said, 'Your FAITH has healed you' And the woman was healed At that moment” Matthew 9:21-22 In Jesus' time ALL they had Was personal talk- And personal touch Research-suggests- That people's hearts and minds ARE more likely to be changed By PERSONAL CONTACT And-by my own experience- I LOVE the one-on-one contact The one-on-one approach The one-on-one phone call- the one-on-one e-mails And one-on-one personal talk/touch Through HUGS-notes-cards-etc., Jesus KNEW- Jesus understood that this is The BEST form of contact TOUCH ME-HEAL ME Jesus did MOST oh HIS HEALING One-on one “He sent out HIS WORD And healed them He rescued them From the grave” Psalm 107:20 Jesus sent out the twelve “HEAL the sick Raise the dead Cleanse those Who have leprosy FREELY you have received Freely give” Matthew 10:8 And today-we are his apostles We are the 12 I WISH I could sit down And tell every single person in this world HOW MUCH God loves us/LOVES THEM How much God loves EACH and every one of us- INDIVIDUALLY GOD'S POWER of love God's power to CHANGE the world Comes from that personal touch That personal contact May you FEEL it today If not from me From someone that you LOVE & respect From someone with whom you have THAT PERSONAL TOUCH Robert P.
