The hands…

A friend of mine sent the following to me by email. I found it very edifying and decided to share it with you. I have modified it a little, but I have kept the most essential bit. I dare hope that a second reading will do as much good to those who had already read it than to those who are seeing it for the first time.

 
A basket ball in my hands is worth 20.000 CFA francs ($40); but in Michael Jordan’s hands, it is worth $33 millions: everything depends on the hands that hold it. 

A paintbrush in my hands is worth a few hundred or few thousand CFA francs; but a paintbrush in the hands of Van Gogh is millions of dollars: everything depends on the hands that hold it. 

A tennis racket doesn't amount to much in my hands; but in the hands of Venus Williams, it is worth millions of dollars: everything depends on the hands holding it. 

A rod in my hands will be used to pick berries; but in the hands of Moses, it will do miracles and part the sea into two: everything depends on the hands holding it. 

A sling in my hands is nothing more than a toy; but it is a fearsome weapon in the hands of David: everything depends on the hands using it. 

Two small fish and five loaves of bread in my hands, will be used to feed 2 or 3 people; but in the Lord’s hands, thousands will eat and be fully satisfied: everything depends on the hands that use them. 

Nails in my hands will make a bench or a chair; but in the hands of Jesus, they will bring forth the salvation of humanity: everything depends on the hands in which they find themselves. 

 

As we can see, it all depends on hands doing the job. Let’s then put our concerns, our fears, our obstacles, our family, our relationships, our ambitions, our projects…in short, let’s put our lives in the Hands of God because…EVERYTHING depends on the hands in which EVERYTHING is.

 

And now that this message has found his way into your hands, what are you going to do? Do not forget: everything depends on the hands hold it! ;-)

 

 
Happy end of the week!
