It's easy to give up these Corona-19 days, when it's harder to travel and harder to meet each other. Our experience since 1975 in Bangladesh is that during disasters, the uneducated and poor are always hit the hardest. They are filled with fear and in order to have food on the table, they sell what they have very sheep or take loans with high interest. Educated people often have an employment and "keep on running" almost as usual.
So these days we need to help even more those who are struggling. We can do it in 2 ways:
Outside: Give food, schooling, flower ++.
Inside: Give them JESUS. He only can Go-to-the-root of the problem…. even during a pandemic. My experience is that only Jesus can touch us deeply, and restore what has been broken. Make us to a new creation.
Daniel + many in the bible, experienced in the middle of crises a divine touch.
Dan 10:18-19 Then again, the one having the likeness of a man touched me and strengthened me. And he said, “O man greatly beloved, fear not! Peace be to you; be strong, yes, be strong!” So when he spoke to me I was strengthened, and said, “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.”Jesus touched many New Testament times, and wants to touch us 2022 as well.
When I am touched by God, others experience that they too are touched by God. I say and do not just good thoughts or the right theology, but LIFE.
Jesus spoke from the Father's heart of God and did only the works of the Father. He can say and do the same in 2022:
If not, all I do and all I say are good thoughts in a dry and dead religion.
Thank you JESUS:
You touched me yes You touched me
And oh the joy that floods my soul
Something happened and now I know
You touched me and made me whole.
