JOURNAL=5-18-15=THE SIMPLE TOUCH OF GOD




“Behold-the hour is coming and has ARRIVED when each of you will be SCATTERED to his own home-and you will leave me ALONE-BUT-I am NOT ALONE-because the Father is with me-I have told you this so that you might have PEACE IN ME” John 16: 32-33




DO YOU HAVE-the PRESENCE of God in your life-IF YOU DO-you are NEVER alone-you always have the FATHER-HIS SON-and their HOLY SPIRIT living within you-and you have GOD'S SPIRIT-always-IF you want him-for the FATHER doesn't say no to his children-IF it is GOOD for us


THE DISCIPLES loved Jesus-and were with him constantly-THEY saw him perform miracle after miracle-and had already seen JESUS' POWER over death in the PRESENCE of Lazarus-and in the son
of the widow Nain-yet when Jesus' time came-for suffering and death-almost ALL abandoned him-yet it really didn't matter-because Jesus' FULFILLMENT had to come over suffering and death-which had to come from HIS FATHER


IT IS the SAME for us-WE SHARE our love with our FAMILIES-and our interaction with them IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT-yet when it comes time for us to FACE our suffering-NO ONE can do it for us-but we can LEAN ON the PRESENCE OF GOD-the PRESENCE of our GODLY FATHER-as Jesus himself did-That is WHY we should always REMAIN OPEN to the PRESENCE OF GOD within us


it is a GREAT DAY to be ALIVE in GOD'S LOVE for us and a GREAT DAY to REMAIN OPEN to the SIMPLE TOUCH OF GOD








THE SIMPLE TOUCH OF GOD


The simple touch of God
Is-for me
The simple touch of God
IS-for you
WELL-The simple touch of God
IS FOREVER and for everyone


That is
What happened to me


God has TOUCHED me
God has touched my heart
And he has
NEVER let me go


TOUCH me heart
Touch my soul
Touch me
TOUCH US FOREVER MORE


2,000 years ago
After Jesus Resurrected
He appeared to his disciples and said:


“PEACE be with you……..
Why are you SO TROUBLED?


HOPE ENDS IN FRUITION


And WHY do doubts
RISE in your minds……..


LOOK at my hands and my feet
It is I myself
TOUCH me and see


A ghost
DOES NOT have flesh and bones
As you see I have” Luke 24:36-39


And today
MANY OF US are troubled
About any of an assortment
Of things
That this life can bring us


WE need
To reach out and TOUCH GOD
We need
To reach out
And TOUCH Jesus
And not be afraid


The simple
TOUCH OF GOD
Makes all the difference
In this world


“God is our refuge
And strength
An ever-present HELP in trouble” Psalm 46:1


The simple touch of God
CALMS our hearts


“AND ALL
Who TOUCHED him
Were healed” Matthew 14:36


THE SIMPLE
Touch of God
The simple
TOUCH OF CHRIST


Dear Lord
We pray
You-OUR ever present HELP
In times of trouble


REPLACE our coldness, our indifference
OUR ingratitude
WITH your courage
AND INFINITE LOVE FOR ALL


REPLACE our indifference
With COMPASSION for others


TOUCH our minds
With your wisdom


And wherever and whatever
We are lacking
REPLACE IT
With
THE SIMPLE TOUCH OF GOD


So that
We can carry to others


THE SIMPLE TOUCH OF GOD
