Can I hold your hand?

This week Jesus asked to hold my hand...

"Why Jesus?" I asked, "Are you leading me somewhere? Are you helping me through a difficult time? Preparing me for things to come?"

"No." He responded, "I simply wanted to intertwine my fingers with yours...to touch you...to feel the warmth of your fingers, to hold a little part of you..." 

My heart beated, my breath stopped-caught up in a rare moment of true romance.

My hand slipped into his.

Beautiful.

Simple.
