when it comes to our hands, we have a choice.
we can either go through life with them closed: tightfisted, fearful, angry, reluctant, withholding, comparative, and empty.
or we can go through life with our hands open: generous, expressive, grateful, helping, and full.
the way we hold our hands reveals a lot about our hearts.
(Looking for God: open or closed, ch. 15, p. 139)
when i originally titled my blog not my own, i was thinking along similar lines... a reminder to myself that the things i see/have/get to hold in this world are not really my own...
instead of grabbing on and clinching my fists around things, i must keep open hands, a posture of love and trust and respect for God who gives good gifts to His children... (James 1:17)
