The Touch of The Master's Hand


There are many times we feel weak, some days we might even feel as if we cannot go on. We wonder why there is so much chaos going on around us. It can be difficult to concentrate, when there is so much pulling at us each and every day. Some days you may feel used, other days abused. There may be times when no one believes in you and you are starting to doubt yourself. Some days may be painful and hard to fight back the tears. Other days you don't have the strength to fight. You have been accused, beaten down and wonder if God even notices what is happening.
You search for your purpose and are unsure what and why you are even going through the obstacles you face each day. You say a quick prayer to God every morning and every night, shouldn't that be sufficient for God to make everything right in your life?
If any of the above sounds like your life and you can identify with it, please know God desperately seeks you! However, you do not give Him the time He needs to speak to your heart. You quickly throw up prayers, failing to spend real time with God and make Him your priority each day. Many times the only way God can get your attention is to bring you to a standstill so you can be quiet and listen. God is not santa clause and cannot be treated as a Wish list provider. God will move whomever and whatever out of the way for you to focus your eyes upon Him. He loves you more than you will ever comprehend and He sees you struggling, but you will not surrender all the "things" in your way to spend time in His Word and in prayer. He wants to help you and He can, but due to free choice He will not make you spend time with Him, you have to be willing to want a deep, unshakeable, relationship with God and make Him the priority in your life. He sees your tears, He counts them and if anyone feels used, abused, and unloved, it is Him. 
God is reaching down His hand to you, take a hold of The Master's Hand! The same nail-scarred hand that loved you so much to die for you. One touch of the Master's Hand and you will never be the same. Ask Him today to forgive you for not making Him a priority in your life and surrender all the pain, heartache, obstacles, tears, and situations you cannot handle. He is just and loves you so much, He will help you.
Allot time each day in the morning and evening to spend time in God's Word and in prayer with Him. Don't say "I just have a busy schedule and don't have time", well He had time to wake you up this morning didn't He? And know this anytime spent in Gods Word and in prayer with Him, will leave you energized and you will feel good, for when you experience the Touch of the Master's Hand, you will never be the same again.
Be Blessed!
