i want joyful Jesus hands


"There is nothing dreary or doubtful about (the life). It is meant to be continually joyful.... We are called to a settled happiness in the Lord whose joy is our strength." -A Chance to Die p.241

I read a story, or writing rather, today about how our hands can be used to serve others and do things for others. We can and must use them in powerful ways. We need to use them to share Jesus' love. [our hands are no longer ours, but they belong to Jesus.]

Lord, I pray that you would bring me the joy and strength which comes from You alone that I might use these hands for You each day. To serve you and serve others, and to love you and love others.

in Your name. amen.
