The Hands of God

“And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.” Mark 10:13

Denial – “Spirit does not have physical hands.”

Affirmation – “My hands are the hands of God.”

There is a Divine Purpose for your life and your hands help you fulfill that purpose. Your hands are gifts from God and your touch is a blessing to the universe. God designed your hands in such a way that each hand has five fingers. Your fingers work together to show you the importance of collaboration and connection with others.  Each finger on each hand has a unique set of prints. Your fingerprints illustrate your diversity and all the aspects of yourself that come together to make you who you are. 

A big part of the ministry of Jesus, our Wayshower, was touch (John 5:15-21).  He touched people and they were blessed. People touched him and they were healed. He realized that the power of God was in his very fingertips. Jesus was also aware of people’s need to touch him to help them to connect with their own Christ consciousness. 

You have the same power in your hands to heal and bless yourself and others. Follow your internal guidance and be willing to touch people in appropriate ways. Sometimes the initiation of touch may come from the other person and sometimes the Holy Spirit may lead you to ask a person, “Can I give you a hug?” Even in the times where you may not desire to touch or to be touched, align your soul with your spirit by reminding yourself that your hands are the hands of God.
