TOUCHING PEOPLE, CHANGING LIVES

A Touch of Class
An advertisement of drink shown in a TV commercial states that, that drink has a touch of class. Meaning, the manufacturer position it to be a special one, not an ordinary like the rest. What makes it special or has a class is the quality it has attained during the process. It was so designed by its maker with the purpose and intention to make it better if not the best, comparing to other competitive products. It was the touch of the maker that makes it different, it was that touch that makes it superior.

The Touch of God
When God created man, He created them perfect lacking nothing, man were created flawless. No clothes have been introduced for them to wear regardless of how original it might be because added clothing would be imperfect. They might be naked in terms of worldly standard when it comes to clothing but what makes it wholesome is that their body covering was the glory of God

God instituted their marriage in the Garden of Eden - that was a garden wedding, a perfect place for perfect people because they were God’s workmanship. It has the touch of God. The touch of God means His presence, His protection, His sufficiency, His power, His love and His care…it represents the over-all qualities of God…all God has and all God is. It was the touch of excellence.

Touching People
In like manner God would like us to touch people. Not the usual touch of a human hand but it is the one that affects the person. It’s what we’ve done that moves them. It might be our concern of their well-being, the care we’ve given to them, the help we extend in drawing out the best in them. The one that creates impact on their lives is that when we can relate to them. Then and only then we can have an influence in their lives.

It is really touching their hearts. People might not be instantly sold out with our ideas and beliefs. At first, they may not align and support us with what we are doing regardless of how knowledgeable we are but it is our sincere and genuine care that will convince them to be one with us. It is because they don’t care how much we know until they know how much we care. It is only when we have touched a heart before we can have their help. Therefore, we need to touch a heart before we ask for a hand.

Nokia has its caption as connecting people. We need to learn how to connect with people because it is only through connecting people that we can touch lives. To have or establish a rapport…understanding why?

Changing Lives
The end results if we really care… The Life Lessons from Jim Robin, Life is worthwhile if you CARE. If you care at all, you will get results. If you care enough, you will get incredible results. Care enough to make a difference. Care enough to turn somebody around. Care enough to change. Care enough to win
