THE MASTER’S TOUCH !!!

A man was auctioning an old guitar. The strings were rusted and worn out.

When he started the auction with one dollar, he did not have any response from the audience and with great discouragement he put it back on the table and sat down.

Suddenly an old man from the crowd, got up and went forward to the stage.

He took the guitar, tuned it and brought out a harmonious music out of the rusted guitar.

After playing for a few minutes, he kept it on the table, got back to his seat and sat quietly.

Then, the auctioner once again took the guitar and said, "one dollar". Immediately, the crowd started responding one after another. Finally, to the acutioner’s surprise, it was sold for one thousand dollars!

On seeing this amazing event, a man from the audience said to his friend,”What happened to the guitar? It was not even worth one dollar a few minutes back, but now it is worth one thousand dollars!”

The friend answered,"The one who went forward and tuned the guitar was the maker of the guitar". It was the TOUCH OF THE MASTER  that made the difference!”

Dear friends, do you feel that you are insignificant and inconspicuous?

Do you think that both in the secular field and in spiritual work, your service is no more considered useful? Are you feeling defeated and frustrated?

Be assured today that you need the MASTER'S TOUCH.

Place yourself in His arms and allow Him to control every area of your life. He is concerned for you and longs to mould you as an useful instrument, active in His service. So, draw near to Him and confess all your discouragements and defeats to Him.

Peter was discouraged after he denied the Lord thrice. He thought that he could never be used by the Lord after his shameful act.

But the Lord did not condemn Peter. He met him once again at the sea of Tiberias and restored him to His fellowship.

On the day of the pentecost, the ‘DEFEATED PETER’ became the ‘DYNAMIC PETER’ by whose one single message, thousands were turned towards Christ.

So, cheer up and experience the healing touch of the Lord in your life!
