August has been absolutely crazy for me! I apologize for the lack of posts. My instagram (@ashesoflaughter) is still seeing some action ;) Promise to get back into the swing of things soon. Until then, I'm really trying to lean on God during this crazy month. Hope you are too. Here is a quick devo from Max Lucado for some hump day inspiration!
The power of a godly touch. Have you known it? The doctor who treated you, or the teacher who dried your tears? Was there a hand holding yours at a funeral?
Haven’t we known the power of a godly touch? Can’t we offer the same?
Some of you use your hands to pray for the sick. If you aren’t
touching them personally, you’re writing notes, calling, baking pies.
You’ve learned the power of a touch.
But others tend to forget. Our hearts are good; it’s just that our memories are bad. We forget how significant one touch can be.
We fear saying the wrong thing, or using the wrong tone or acting the
wrong way. So rather than do it incorrectly, we do nothing at all.
Aren’t we glad Jesus didn’t make the same mistake? Jesus touched the untouchables of the world. Will you do the same?
xx,
Erin
