He loves us so much that he paints beautiful sunsets for us to see. He sends a gentle breeze and touches our face. We feel his warmth from the sun. The mountains and all of his grand and glorious creations he loans to us for our enjoyment. He blesses us with our daily needs, he gives us daily bread, spiritually and naturally. Most of all the greatest gift of love he gave us was his precious son, Jesus Christ. He signed his love note with his own blood because "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13.)

God's love notes are everywhere, we only need to open our eyes and read them.

A Hand that can touch the heart

Matthew Chapter 9 23 ) And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise, 24 ) He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. 25 ) But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose. 26 ) And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.

The Daughter Of Jairus who was a ruler had died and Jairus had went seeking Jesus to come and heal her. Jairus was a good example of what the church is to be, which is concerned for those who are dead in their sins. We should be praying that Jesus would save the lost and dying world. Jesus arrived at the home and when he told them she was only sleeping they laughed at him. These people had no faith in him or his power to raise her but notice that they did not get to go in and see this miracle because of their unbelief .Her parents did believe and they did get to see.

What a loving picture when he reaches down and takes her by the hand. The Lord always has to reach down for a sinner. A sinner must look up but the Father must reach down and do what we cannot do. We must depend on him for our salvation. In Mark Chapter five we read the account of this same story except Mark tells us that he spoke to her. I believe God speaks to every sinner when they are seeking their soul's salvation. We can hear his voice and we must obey whatever it is he tells us to do.

He took her by the hand. Jesus could have touched her anywhere but he took her by the hand. It is said that there is a vein in our hand which runs from one of our fingers straight to our heart. When Jesus touches you with salvation it goes straight from his heart to yours and will remain there eternally. From our hand runs a life line to the heart and that is what the Lord wants to reach in every sinner. He wants to give that same life spiritually to you who are lost. We often will hold the hand of someone we love, our husband, our children, our friends in Christ.It is a very personal gesture.

Jesus wants to know you personally. He wants to be your best friend and he will be if you will only let him. "And the maid arose" When a sinner obeys the voice of the Lord, whatever the spirit may command them to do they can rise up from that sinful dead estate that they were lying in. Every Christian at one time was dead in sin but we have been made alive in Christ. I am so thankful for the night that he took me by the hand. You know what? He has never let go of my hand. He said he would never leave us or forsake us and he never has me.

He is a wonderful savior but he's such a wonderful friend as well. Do you know him as Your friend?

He loves you.

If you are reading this perhaps he is speaking to you. I urge you to follow his spirit and whatever he tells you to do whether it is to pray or whatever it may be just obey his voice and look up to him.He will show you what to do to be saved. Perhaps he will tell you to let go of something you are holding onto but whatever is needed he will make it plain to you if you will seek him with all of your heart. He will be there waiting to take you by the hand and come into your heart.
