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
