I like the message I got from the small book I read today and I really want to share it through this blog. I hope it could be a reminder for each of us that we are never alone in life.
"When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said, 'Woman, you are set free from ailment.' When he laid his hands on her, immediately she stood up straight and began praising God." - Luke 13: 12-13
Many parents, when faced with a child's scrape or cut, say "Let me kiss it and make it better." Scrapes kissed, tummies and backs rubbed, fevered brows soothed, fears hugged away - children seem to know well the power of touch.
As adults our wounds may be too serious to treat with touch alone, but that does not discount its power. The embrace of a lover, the hug of a friend - all of these things help us to know we are not alone, that God, through the hands of others, touches our lives. (Lewis, A)
