Today God showed a beautiful symbol to me. Take your fist, hold it tightly together. (clenched) This is the hand gesture we perform as if we are ready to fight, when we are tense, closed off, etc.
Our Lord is calling us to have an unclenched fist, a hand that is open, that is surrendered and is available to be used by God. An open hand is free, is weak. A clenched fist cannot hold a hand, or help another. But an open hand can be used for labor, serving our Lord. An open hand can hold a child or make dinner for an elderly man.
An open hand can climb the mountain or help a friend put on a band-aid.
Take a moment to really reflect on this. How closed off are you? How clenched is your hand, that God is unable to use it?
May this expression bring you enlighten and open your eyes to all that God has for you; through submission to His will through an open heart and open hand.
