**Your Hands: Instruments of Purpose and Prosperity**
What do you use your hands for? Have you ever paused to consider the power within them? Do you use your hands to build or to tear down? God designed our hands with great intention—to create, to nurture, to accomplish, and to care for the things that truly matter.
Your hands are a gift, uniquely crafted to fulfill God’s plan for your life. With them, you have the power to bring dreams to life or to let opportunities slip away. Whatever your purpose, your hands are involved. It’s your choice: will you use them to create something beautiful, something that uplifts and restores? Or will you let them be instruments of destruction and carelessness?
The truth is, how you use your hands reveals much about who you are. Think about it: when something fragile slips from your hands, it shatters. The same is true in life. We are entrusted with people and dreams that need to be handled with care, just as you would handle something precious.
Your hands are capable of changing the world around you. You have the power to protect, nurture, and build up lives—yours included. Like an egg that cracks under rough handling, so too are the delicate relationships and responsibilities in our lives. Handle them with care, and they will flourish.
We spend time caring for our hands—getting manicures, moisturizing, keeping them clean—because we recognize their value. Just as no one wants to live without hands, none of us can fulfill our purpose without using them wisely. Think about how important clean hands became during the pandemic. Washing and protecting them from germs became second nature. We understood that clean hands could protect not just ourselves, but others too.
From hard labor to gentle acts of kindness, our hands are essential to the productivity and well-being of our lives. They are symbols of the work we do, and how we choose to use them defines our impact on the world.
Let us commit to using our hands for good—for creating, serving, loving, and lifting up others. God has promised to bless the work of our hands if we dedicate them to His purpose.
Believe in His promise. Trust Him with the hands He has given you. Let them be instruments of blessing and change.
**Love your hands.**
**Use them wisely.**
**And may the work of your hands be blessed, always.**
