I believe in the
power just one touch can make. I think of Jesus in the leper's den, His interaction with lepers was absolutely
startling, and such a potent demonstration of the length to which God will go
to extend Grace, even to people whom society believes are the least deserving
of it. But then, is that not the very definition of grace? It is written when Jesus saw the
leper He was “filled with compassion”(Mark 1:41).
Filled means just that (topped off, pouring over with compassion). He was moved, to do something others would
not do. Jesus immediately cared for him. Are their people God has placed
in your path today that one touch from you could make the difference? A hug, a
smile, a pat on the back? Can I encourage you today to be filled with
compassion instead of repulsed and possibly even judgmental of the
needy, hurting and desperate? Would you join me today and
consider touching the heart of the very people our society deems
"unclean"?
