I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND

"For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, ‘Do not fear; I will help you.’"  (Isaiah 41:13 NIV)

The old Beatles song goes, “I want to hold your hand.” And yet in this day of COVID-19, we are told to refrain from hand-shakes and hugs, to observe social distancing, and to shelter in place. Fear of contracting the disease and/or spreading it to others, particularly the most vulnerable, is very real and should be taken seriously. But there is One who wants to touch you, to be close to you. God wants to hold your hand.

What is stopping you from letting go of fear and taking hold of God's hand? Please do not miss the offer to know Him on a personal level. God is reaching out with open arms and it is up to us to embrace Him and accept the invitation. Don't spend another moment in isolation, alone or full of fear. Let it go and let God hold your hand.

The Beatles concluded their song with “And when I touch you I feel happy inside. It's such a feeling that my love I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide.” That’s the way it is when we are touched with God’s love, especially in the midst of fear. Take hold of God’s hand.
