Touched By the Master's Hand

I love quotes. Words of inspiration spoken by others, most of whom are personally unknown, that leave a profound impact on your life. A very special friend sent me a quote the other day, that continues to dance around my thoughts as I continue to hold on to the one who continues to hold on to me.

Words of inspiration are great, but I have yet to find (nor will I ever) anything that has impacted my life as the times that I have been touched by the hand of my Master. The Master has left his hand print on so many areas of my life. Each season has brought forth a fresh work along with a fresh touch.

A strong hand delivering me from a pit, or a strong hand of correction. A gentle hand of comfort or of love. A hand of encouragement guiding my steps of faith or pushing me beyond what I could ever imagine possible. A hand placed upon my life as he dances with me in the secret chambers.

I think his hand is always upon us, we just don't always notice. One thing I know to be true is that when we are aware of his touch that our lives are forever changed. The relationship we have with him becomes more and more personal as we become more aware of his presence. Spend some time today to think about all the ways he has touched your life and how your life has been changed by the touch of the Master's hand.
