Poetry
There is no such thing as a heart that is too hard or a person too deep in sin, no lust too great for the miracle working God I serve.
For some reason outside the realm of my understanding, he did not deal with me, or many others according to what we deserve.
I had a tune in my heart today that speaks of Just one touch from our Great God and new life began.
I recalled my helpless condition, with many people that I knew including my own family ruled out any hope for this vile man.
Remembering that from sixteen years old forward, year after year, sin added to sin, I was in a most repulsive condition.
Never once considering the God that made me, one day to be my final judge, still I offered not the least bit of contrition.
Just one touch was all that I needed, but how could that happen? I willfully stayed away from anything holy. I was so profane.
So never in this life will I be able to comprehend why I was drawn with the cords of his love to Jesus Christ lovely name.
Prior to my conversion I viewed radical Christianity as a fraud, because of the examples I willingly hid behind very much.
Then my conversion, my transformation was so diametrically opposed to my former life, and it all started with just one touch.
My life was filled with unholy relationships, substance and alcohol abuse, and any thoughts of change I would quickly crush.
The unholy relationships were abandoned, the substance and alcohol abuse renounced and all because of just one touch.
How can these things be? There is only one explanation, the God I had lifelong rejected is real and moved in on me as if in a rush.
He so drastically changed my life as if a hundred year old hardened sinner instantly became a harmless baby by just one touch.
Now when thoughts of my son living in sin flood me as if under a tremendous waterfall, knowing he’s a slave to his own lust.
He simply needs the same thing his daddy did so many years before. For Jesus to reach down and give him just one touch.
I must keep this thought before me when dealing with people of this world, or during visitation with some difficult man.
For I know not when the Great Savior of mankind is going to reach down with just one touch from his loving hand.
You should carefully consider your own conversion. The miracle of taking one dead laying in the filth of this worlds dust.
It will help you to realize with God all things are possible, none you will meet need anything more than just one touch.
Twas a life filled with aimless desperation, without hope walked the shell of a man.
Then a hand with a nail print stretched downward, just one touch then a new life began.
