HIS SPECIAL TOUCH

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

John 3:16 KJV

We sing the beautiful hymn “He Touched Me”.  It is a hymn that describes the touch of Jesus.  It was His special touch that lifted me up from under a bed in a mental hospital where I lay years ago because I was afraid of everyone and everything.  It was His special touch that gave me a reason to live.

It is His special touch that keeps us going when our hearts are breaking because people have hurt us by saying cruel and sarcastic words to us and have done things on purpose to hurt us.  It is also His special touch that heals the broken hearts of people we have hurt by word or by deed.

If we would remember that when we hurt others, we also hurt Jesus, I don’t think we would say and do things that hurt others.  Our precious Saviour deserves to be happy.  We should do everything we can do to make Him happy.  We need to search our heart and see if we are hurting Jesus or making Him happy.
