Touch
The issue of touch has been running through my mind for a little while. Last night my pastor Greg brought up the issue of touch and how touch can be good and used for bad. We as people long for the touch of love, the touch of acceptance and the touch of comfort. I have experienced the touch of uncomfortable recently and have questioned myself of why I feel this. This touch wasn't a necessarily considered negative. It was a hug, I am not usually offended by somebody hugging me but this person is a little different and just gives uncomfortable vibes when I hug him. I don't know if this is me being mean about the whole thing and not letting myself try and except this person or it is good for me to have these feelings of strangeness that would lead me to be protected. I have given may obvious signs that I don't wished to be hugged. I have completely darted the other way when this person tries to hug me and still he hunts me down to hug me. He does not get the fact that I don't want to hug him. But is this attitude the one I should bear? Should I still give this person hugs even though it is uncomfortable for me to should God's love? I also don't know if I should boldly go out and say "I don't want anymore hugs from you!" This sounds completely ungod-like. The questions I am now asking myself are "Is it ok to have these feelings of don't touch me!" or do I need to look beyond this and give this person love even though it makes me uncomfortable? I have hugged many people before, some who don't look desirable and some who don't smell too great, these have brought unease about the hug but never a real discomfort. I stand at a real confusion of this, I want to do what is God-like but I don't want to be uncomfortable about doing it.
