Hands Too Full:

Hands Too Full

Fifteen hundred years ago the great church leader Augustine made this wonderful statement:

"God wants to give us something, but cannot because our hands are full - there's nowhere to put it."

There is a great deal of truth in this simple statement. God has promised to fill our lives. It's not just that God wants to give us eternal life, He wants to give us a fulfilling life now... but our lives are so full: full of activity, full of selfishness, full of pride, full of desire for more and even full of pain and resentment.

Perhaps we need to reassess our lives and lay some stuff down so God can deal with us. We need to put down our need for control and self-centred living; put down our need to acquire, to prove our worth, put down some of the grudges we hold and learn to forgive.

Most importantly, we need to put down the actions in our lives that we know are wrong. Who knows what God may do in our lives if we give Him the space and the time to act?
