“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)
