Dear Dad,
Thank You for teaching me the importance of walking with my
hands open. Choosing to only open my hands to receive, negates the purpose of
having them. You gave me hands for You to hold and lead me in the right
direction. You gave me hands to help, mimicking Your helping hand to help others.
You gave me hands for giving. No matter what my circumstances look like, because
I am connected to You I can afford to give to others, confident that my Father
will supply all me needs. You own a cattle over a thousand hills, You are rich
and You bless those who utilize what You gave them for Your glory. I have hands
to work; work my job to the best of my ability, which brings You honor. I have
hands for healing. You said that I am equipped through faith because of the
Holy Spirit, to utilize the spiritual gifts You’ve placed inside me. I have
hands to join with others in prayer. Joining forces with others, believing that
the promise given will come to pass. Today I am challenged to always
walk with my hands open. Not merely to receive but constantly to give. A closed
hand cannot be used to its greatest potential because it is limited in its usefulness
and rejects assistance. Thank You Father for my hands!

1 Corinthians
12:7-9
A spiritual gift is given to each
of us so we can help each other. 8 To
one person the Spirit gives the ability to give wise advice; to another the
same Spirit gives a message of special knowledge. 9 The
same Spirit gives great faith to another, and to someone else the one Spirit gives the gift of healing.
Hebrews 6:10
For God is not unjust. He will not forget how hard you have worked for him and how you have shown your love to him by caring for other believers, as you still do.

Psalms 50:10-12
For all the animals of the forest
are mine, and I own the cattle on a thousand hills.11 I know every bird on the mountains, and all the animals of the
field are mine. 12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for all the world is mine
and everything in it.
