Within Reach

Often times, we feel His blessings when something happen surprisingly in our life. At all other times, we struggle to go past the hurdle. Did God want us to struggle? He is stretching His hand to help us out and often times we don’t see it.

This reminds me of the famous painting of Michelangelo "The Creation of Adam". Look closer. Study the body language of Adam. Adam seems to be more relaxed. God's finger and Adam's finger are not touching. Father God is stretching His hand to Adam. A little effort is what was required from Adam to reach His hand.

Is our God's hand trying to reach out to you? Are we still living the empty life? For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.( Isaiah 5:25)

We are often deceived by evil thoughts and run after worldly pleasures. We deserve His wrath, Yet, in His ever lasting love and mercy chooses to stretch out His hand of forgiveness. Despite our wicked hearts, He still chooses to show mercy and offer forgiveness.
God stretches out His hand to help us, do we respond to the hand? A little effort from our side will make a great difference in our life. Love Him, build up a relationship with Him, a little stretch to reach His hand is what is required. 
God is within our reach, we just have to try

Be Blessed !!
