HIS SPECIAL TOUCH

“And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.”

Mark 6:56
King James Version

The Bill Gaither Trio sings the beautiful hymn “He Touched Me”.  “He touched me, Oh He touched me, And oh the joy that floods my soul! Something happened and now I know, He touched me and made me whole.”  The words in this hymn are so true.  When Jesus touches us, we are made whole.  Doctors can operate but only Jesus can heal a broken heart.

For those of you who are on my mailing list, you know that I went through a crippling devastating depression for several years.  Doctors and social workers tried to help me but they couldn’t help me.  It took Jesus, the great Physician, to heal my broken heart.  I don’t know what dark valleys you are going through but Jesus knows and He cares you are hurting.  Allow Him to comfort and encourage you as He did for me.

Edna Worrell wrote one of my favorite hymns “IT'S JUST LIKE JESUS”  “It’s just like Jesus to roll the clouds away, It’s just like Jesus to keep me day by day, It’s just like Jesus all along the way, It’s just like His great love.” John W. Peterson wrote one of my favorite hymns “No One Understands Like Jesus”.  “No one understands like Jesus; Ev'ry woe He sees and feels; Tenderly He whispers comfort, And the broken heart He heals.”  What a healing balm it is to our weary battle scarred heart to know Jesus cares about us and will heal our broken heart.

Thank God for the special touch of Jesus.  If you are hurting, brokenhearted and going through dark valleys, tell Jesus.  He will be faithful to pick you up and carry you until the pain goes away and will set you once again on the mountain top of happiness.  What a Saviour!  What a Friend, this Jesus of Nazareth!  No one loves you like Jesus loves you and no one ever will.  His love is beyond compare.  He loved you yesterday.  He loves you today and He will love you forever.
