Daily Devotionals by Ardith Keef

     I have always believed the laying on of hands to be that transfer that happens when one Christian takes on another, and does whatever the Lord gives in order to bring the receiver to the place of capacity to receive.  
     It takes time.
     You will not find a place in the epistles where Paul says "we disembarked and in the next minutes, we held a laying-on-of hands ceremony. . ."
     That's because Paul invested himself, and the ceremonial laying on of hands was simply a physical marking of the thing that had already taken place in the heavenlies.
      Live is not bestowed without contact, and Redemption did not happen from a distance.
     He came.
     He touched.
     And He still comes and touches today - through your life and mine.
