The Lord has been speaking to my heart to use my hands to bless. My heart wants to be under His hand- His authority- His guidance- His goodness! Love ya Mid!
Amen. In a “bless -less” world, our Father reaches across the bless-lessness. He touches. He loves. He heals. He redeems. He blesses…
My prayer today. “Lord, help people be humble and honest enough to to be touched by you…”
Our Father! Let it be done and earth as it is in heaven! May His blessings flow- Your post made me think of the Christmas Song- Joy to the World- One line- He’s come to make His blessings flow! Now that’s a “flow” I want to be a part of! hugs babe
Amen to both of you! It’s been proven scientifically that “touching” heals… the laying on of hands is an age-old practice of relaying blessings/healing. God created us… He knew! ♥♥
Such a beautiful blessing you’ve given us in this treasure, dear Cindy. Thank you once again! I can think of nothing more heart wrenching than that scripture verse from Isaiah – He quite literally carved us into the palms of His hand. Makes me weep every time I read it, I do so cherish the thought.
His love is beyond my finite, little mind. But I feel His hand resting on my head. He is not only our great God- He is our Abba Father. Hope you are doing well this summer, Edy! You are so precious to me!
