I do the same thing, Lori: open then close, open then close. Sigh. But yes, I’m so grateful that God honors our intentions too! Grace. It’s the most hopeful thing I know.

Open my hand … and quickly shut it! Then open it again until often without even realizing it, I shut it once again! Thank you for the hope-filled reminder, though, that God knows I WANT to and He honors that! As always, my friend, thank you so much for sharing hope with me at Moments of Hope♥

Lori

Beautiful, Rachel. I pray that you’re able to continue to live with an open hand and receive some amazing gifts as a result!

Just how God has been asking me to live right now. An open hand means letting go. And, I’ve let go so God can give what he chooses to give.

It’s a good practice for us, yes? Anytime, anywhere. Thanks, June.

I like how you’re thinking, Floyd. Humility first. Otherwise, we think our own handfuls are enough…. Your theme sure keeps coming up in my own life too this year! 🙂

I agree. The open hand is the one that leads to the unimagined and unexpected. It doesn’t feel as secure to me, but in actuality it is. My clinched fists didn’t (and don’t) lead anywhere either.

An open hand takes faith… and a bended knee takes humility. Maybe the knee should come first? Humility, then faith. Just thinking, you know, it’s my year to do so…

I used to live with my fists clenched almost the whole time. That’s not easy either, and it doesn’t lead anywhere.

The Way of the Open Hand is far more interesting.
