A Father's Touch

When we first & finally got Mei he had only been used to ladies taking care of him. Because of this he clung to Shannon. To try to help him grow out of this I (Tracey) made a point to change his diapers and give him baths as often as I could. This way he could get used to the touch of his father’s hand and learn my love for him.

Thankfully the heavenly Father knows we need His personal touch to be able to have a true love relationship with Him. The Father made a way for us to have a personally intimate relationship with Him through faith in His Son, Jesus Christ. We can experience His touch. We can feel His touch in our lives! How? First, but having a personal relationship with Him by faith (John 3:16; Ro.10:9-10). Then, we live by faith in His Word and trust Him to be who He says He will be in His Word. When we live by faith – walking in His ways – we see His faithfulness and feel His touch. Even when we are not faithful to His ways He still loves us and wants us to feel His touch if only we will listen to His Word!

Psalm 37:23-24 is such a comforting passage! The Lord really does care about every detail of our lives. He really does desire to hold our hands as we walk with Him through life!

When was the last time you felt the touch of your Father in heaven? Walk by faith! Stay in His Word! Listen to His Words and obey them! Look for His touch!

Stop: Slow down your busy life enough to make time to spend getting to know your Father (Luke 10:38-42)

Look: He really is there! You will see Him and find Him when you seek Him with all your heart (Jeremiah 29:13)

Listen: Get in His Word. He has given you everything you need in writing! Build your life on His Word. Live by faith in His Word! (Luke 6:46-49; James 1:22)
