Ok so the other day I was washing dishes and I SLICED my hand open on a knife. Well, maybe I just cut my finger, but still it really hurt and it bled like crazy! So I bandaged it up, and went about my day. What is it about a bandage on your finger that makes you completely handicap?? It's like that hand is useless all of a sudden because of a little bandaid! And then the next day, of course, it HURT! Maybe I'm a baby, but I seriously struggled every time I needed to use that hand.
And it got me thinking. That cut on my hand, and the extra space the bandage took up, plus the soreness from the "wound" affected the way I went about my day to day. What if that's us with God? The Bible says that we are to be His hands and feet. Well, if all His "hands" are walking around bleeding, or bandaged from past hurts, or sore from pain in our life we CAN NOT be doing what He has called us to do here on earth to the best of our ability!
I was just walking around with a tiny cut.....imagine how much more handicap I would have been with a REAL injury?
In our walks with God, with have to make sure that we are functioning as His hands and feet with no handicaps, no bruises, no bandages! We need to be prayed up, healed up, and fired up, ready to go/do/be where-ever/when-ever/what-ever He has called us!
Let that be our prayer today. God, heal whatever hurts and bruises that might hold us back from loving others, and walking in your will today!
Much Love!
