Loving Hands'

We all start out as babies and need nurturing from a loving hand; and as we feel that comfort and love, we depend on that person for so much in our lives, we grow to the stage of making childish mistakes and then comes discipline but in that we find guidance and growth.

Then all of a sudden we're getting outside influence from hands that may or may not have that loving touch, like the ones when we were young. This is the time of choice; sometimes we find ourselves making the wrong choices, and feel there is no one there with those loving hands.

A still small and silent voice or a tingle in the stomach, and yes even an ache in the heart feeling begins to happen. But like usual we just accept it like it's a normal feeling or coincidence; most of the time we get frustrated and angry when there is a loving hand reaching out to comfort and love us. We've forgotten whose hand formed us and knew us before we even started in this life.

Those nurturing hands have always been with us and we need to reach out and touch them and feel the pain and tears that lived and died for us to have the unconditional love that was given to us with everlasting life. We feel that comfort and love that comes from our precious Savior and sometimes that feeling comes through a friend or loved one.

We need to soften our hearts and listen and be amazed at what is being said or felt. For it is with much love and joy that we were given life. Someday when we are in heaven I know we will look up to Jesus and truly see and feel this LOVE. So, until then, my prayer is that all that we do and all that we say is out of love for one another, not just in good times but in hard times for this is when we usually cry out and our souls are being filled with emotions that can make us or break us.

Jesus was oh so broken for us to have life and we have a choice to live our life with his loving hands guiding us out of love and concern for all.
