The Handshake
He didn’t have a bathroom in his house. He just used the outhouse back by the alley. He didn’t have a closet, but that was OK, because he didn’t have many clothes to wear anyway. He did have a kitchen sink, and a bed and a roof over his head. Compared to the way he grew up in Eastern Europe, he was rich. His daughter-in-law always said he spoke the “foreign language” so she wouldn’t know what he was saying. Even though I never really understood what my Grandfather was saying to me, I always knew he loved me. Whenever I would visit, he’d smile at me and he always seemed happy when I was around. And, every time my brothers and I would leave, he’d always make sure to shake our hand before we left.
One day, a man who had leprosy came and knelt at the feet of Jesus. In those days, a man with leprosy was banished from his home to live his remaining days in a leper colony. No one would talk to you, or look at you, and they certainly wouldn’t touch you. But, Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man and immediately the man’s leprosy was gone.
Jesus won’t heal all of your diseases or solve all of your problems the way you think he should. In fact, it may seem he’s not even hearing your prayers. Just lay it all at the feet of Jesus. Allow Him to show His love by shaking your hand…just like my Grandfather did with me. Your life will never be the same!
