“ Somebody touched Me for I perceived power going out from Me “ Luke 8 :46

“  Somebody touched Me for  I perceived 
power  going out  from Me “

Luke 8 :46

We have all experienced the power of “ touch “ .

The power of “ touch “ is determined by the attitude and concern or motive of the one who touch and the one who is being touched.

       How a  child stop crying when the mother carry that child.  This affectionate touch is experienced by both the mother and the child  .

How we scream when some stranger try to touch us .

When an  itchy worm or itchy plant leaf touch you, we know the result . How the aftermath of that touch irritate us and we have to take anti allergic medicine to stop the repercussions of that itchy touch . How much more the itchy touches and “ looks  “ trouble us for extremely strong durations and can even wreck our lives .  The  stare and the touch which make us repulse .  In the normal behaviour , there is perfect smooth running of society.  Any thing abnormal produces abnormal consequences  and diseases . The young girls who underwent this unholy treatment in shelter homes and other places where parents felt  secure that their children are safe , point the accusing finger to the responsible citizens of all countries.

The comforting touch and embrace of a dear friend takes away the pain and frustration where as the same from a stranger make us retaliate with our full  protective sense of armour to save ourselves from unwanted situations .  These unethical behaviour usually happens in public places but if it happens in churches and sacred holy pilgrimage places , it is the ultimate wickedness . Then where is sacredness, where is sanctity .  Is there any difference between sacredness and adultery ? How the splitting of the word into spelling   has deteriorated our sense of wholesomeness. Our ancient wisdom advocated to look beyond the mundane to the meanings which lies behind the outward rituals, now we do not even respect the outward ritual, we are desecrating our very lives. Someone who is determined to destroy family and country put forward this theory of meaningless relationship. The foundational   meaning, motive, inspiration , which  holds the family unit that  they can be building block to a healthy nation .Once family disintegrate, children are orphaned, after each separation, more and more children are orphaned and finally it will be a country of unwanted, neglected orphans. W  ho can be proud of such a nation where irresponsible  men and women roam about without any purpose or motivation or moral standard.  Can we provide healing touch, encouraging touch, comforting touch, which will generate pride and magnificence in their mind about themselves not the feeling of being trampled upon by the unwanted touches .

 “ When I consider Your heavens ,

and the work of Your fingers

the moon and the stars, which You have ordained,

What is man that You are mindful of him,

And the son of man that You visit him,

           For You have made him a little lower than the angels,

And You have  crowned him with glory and honor .

You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands

You have put all things under his feet.

But now we are struggling to keep our huge heritage. We cannot manage so vast resources and when we use it we produce more effluences than the original pristine matter. We have drained all bountiful rivers and lakes and  water bodies are polluted . How can we call it true stewardship.  What happens to boys and girls who are admitted to government as well as private schools in the full confidence of the teachers and the management.

What happens when we marry our girls to families in the full trust that she will consider them as her family and that they will consider her as their family member . In north India and south India , if we make a survey, what will be the result. Is it because of lack of money  ? Is it because of lack if education ? Is it because lack of  hereditary lineage. How we touch the lives of billions of people in public places as well as at  home. Does our power, mentally, physically, psychologically,  financially,  touch all lives wisely with concern and care . Do we honor and value the eternal breath of the Eternal Spirit of God and the body as the Temple in which the SPIRIT of Eternal God inhabit  and dwells and empower us and lead us every minute of our life. Once that Spirit of God leave our body, we are nothing. Do we respect the God indwelling in us  and the temple of our body. How much care we take for the God made of clay, stone and wood and the Temples in which we worship them and we call ourselves as Siva, Ganesha,  Vishnu, Saraswati,  Lakshmi , Ganga, Mary, Elizabeth, or Rachel, Rebecca, Jacob, Abraham, Daniel , Hanna  etc . If only we could understand our own divine nature , no wickedness would ever happen in our country . Who do the people think they are  ? They have the qualities of their God / Goddess . So behave likewise . Be aware that we are crowned with glory and honor.  Never let anyone take it away from you .  We have the power to heal, the power to comfort, the power to save others in their difficult situations, power to empower them spiritually, emotionally , mentally and intellectually. Let us use our resources for that purpose .  No wicked behavior will be ever seen.
