Today I went to a meeting for Children's Church and I got to sit next to a mechanic friend of mine. His hands are filthy, and constantly soiled. I've seen his hands clean, but they are not the clean that I think many would be able to eat with. But they amaze me. These are hands that are fully engrossed in their work. They are not just covered in grime, there are cuts, and bruises and blood stains. These are hands that are busy at their work and they show it.
When I stand before the Master's Gates and Thomas asks to see my hands may they show the work I've done to the extent of this mechanic's, scars and blood stains, grime and all. May they reflect the glory of God in every knuckle and sinew.
