“The rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God”
- John Fitzgerald Kennedy
I’ve seen those hands…Hands that killed…Hands that abused spouses and children…
Hands that stole…Hands upon the heart’s being bathed with grace, were folded and prayed often in darkness…Hands that were idle…
Hands that opened doors they were not supposed to…Hands begging for mercy…Hands that wove with pride…Hands that were rejected…Hands that were humiliated…
Hands that did not extend to forgive…Hands that were quick to accomplish evil intentions and thoughts…

Hands that created everything…
Hands that turned water into wine…
Hands that delivered a man in the synagogue from demonic spirits…
Hands that cleansed a leper…Casted out a dumb and blind spirit…Fed 5,000 with only 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish…Made a blind man see in Bethsaida…Healed a woman with an 18 year infirmity…Calmed a storm…
Hands who served and willfully obeyed what His Father wanted…Who died and was raised up and now is sitting at the Right Hand of God…
Hands that were pierced and wounded by nails and because of that, we are healed…Hands that are faithful to complete the plans He promised…Hands that shield the poor from the storms…Hands that saves anyone willing to surrender…
The hands which choose to receive His gift of life and hope, will in turn raise their hands to heavens and with thankful hearts praise His Holy Name…
After all, one’s life rests on His hands…
“Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.”
- 1 Peter 5:6 (NIV)
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI have visited your blog and enjoyed it very much. It has a great inspiration.
Would you like to visit my weblog which I created in Nov 2010?
My wife and I are Iranian and live in the UK. We love Jesus and our weblog is mostly about our Lord. Since we are Iranian we have added some Persian articles to the weblog, but you can read and watch English ones.
Our weblog is http://creation-to-eternity.blogspot.com
God Bless,
Shapour
Words of encouragement to yours and my heart. Hugs dear one.
ReplyDeleteGood post about hands - those that helped give life, and those that contributed to death.
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate that God's hands are always stretched out to us, open, ready to bless.
And those nail pierced hands... how thankful I am for them.
Dear Rosel, please know that God's hand is holding yours today, leading the way through this uncertain path that you are on.
Love
Lidj
Great message. It is interesting when you compare "Good" with "Evil" or "God" with the "Devil". All good things come from above (God). All bad things come from below (Devil). Evil hands....Good hands. Blessings to you my friend.
