Topic: Help (02/20/06)
What does it mean to serve and offer a true helping hand? Are we only vessels of grace or extenders of caring compassion? Let's understand what a true helping hand can be. It's more than a gesture, more than a kind word and it's more than what a mere physical hand can do. It's an expression of the Christian gift of service which offers more than charity, a hand up or a casual hand of applause.
What is the gift of service? It's a spiritual Christian talent or knack for helping others in the manner for which the Lord approves. Are we handy helpers in the tool shed? Are we mechanics of the heart or of our vehicles? Let's praise God for all of our gifts and give Him a hand! Handyman, let's celebrate the holy gift of service!

A very tidy little devotional, and I really liked your last line.
