MORE THAN A TOUCH

"A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh."

Ezekiel:36:26
King James Version

The Bill Gaither Trio sings one of my favorite hymns "He Touched Me". I am so glad that on August 14, 1980, Jesus gave me a new heart and gave me a reason to live.

"Shackled by a heavy burden, 'Neath a load of guilt and shame. Then the hand of Jesus touched me, And now I am no longer the same.

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.

Since I met this blessed Savior, Since He cleansed and made me whole, I will never cease to praise Him, I'll shout it while eternity rolls.

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."

What a Saviour! What a Friend, this Jesus of Nazareth! I've said this many times and I will keep saying it until God calls me Home to Heaven. "No one loves you like Jesus loves you and nobody ever will."

Thank You, Jesus, for giving me a new heart, a reason to live, and for helping me write devotions about how wonderful You are. I love You so much and look forward to the happy joyous day when I will see You face to face and will be with You for eternity. You didn't just touch me. You gave me a reason to live and promised me that You will never leave me. O how much I love You!
