God's Hands.

have you ever thought about Gods hands.               
He holds the whole world in the palms of His hands. His hands are so big that the earth is tiny inside of them. which says to me, our God is a big God. if His hands are big, then imagine how big He is.
we are just a speck compared to things He has crafted but in His eyes we are the greatest and biggest thing He has ever made. 
have you ever thought about how much detail there is in a human. there is not just hands, arms, legs, feet, mouth, eyes, etc. no there is beyond so much more.  He didn't just put us together, He didn't just make us and say let there be humans. - So God created man in his own image, 
       in the image of God he created him; 
       male and female he created them. Genesis 1:27-
 i get this image of Him sitting down at a table and a light, late into the night looking over the "blueprints". pencil and eraser working hard, making sure everything is perfect, right, and in place. then with His big beautiful hands he begins to put His craftsmen to work, He begins to mold, shape,curves,tightens, and sharpens the most beautiful masterpiece and then to finish it off He begins to paint. the color of skin, the lips, the eyes, the hair. 
we have just now become a piece work from the hands that create such art.   
how or why any one would ever want to put more "art work" on their hand crafted, painted self, is beyond my understanding. your body is a not a piece of paper for you to draw on. you are already a master piece so why put a painting (tattoo) on you, why pierce your self and poke holes through something God has taken His precious time on. do you think God is not a busy man? He is the King of this universe and He takes care of every single little and big thing beyond imaginable. so the fact that He thinks you are and i are worth while His time, just says how highly He thinks of us. of how much He loves us. to me that is more love then i can comprehend. which motivates me to want to everything in my power to take care, and to respect Gods temple that he ever so crafted and made a rare masterpiece. 
by doing so, its not just by putting ink or holes its also by the things we put inside of us, the way we take care of the of the organs and the tiny many things inside of us, the muscles and the heart.. and the way we treat our body physically in a sexual manner. 
“All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be enslaved by anything. “Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food”—and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! Or do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, “The two will become one flesh.” But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
1 Corinthians 6:9-20 
to give your self to someone who is not the person God has CREATED for YOU, the someone who has been crafted to fit you perfectly, is such a slap to Gods face. the way you are made is for a reason.
Gods hands who have created and painted the very things you see when you step out your front door, or the things you see while driving, and so much more are the same hands that have created you. and inside them we are so small but to Him we are so big, with an even bigger heart... no matter the pain and hurt and junk that might be in there, we all have a heart and its bigger then life its self. 
I'm so thankful for Gods hands. they do so much. they pick you up when you need to be. when you are weak they give you strength. when you are falling they catch you. they hold your hand when you are alone. they guide you when you are lost. they heal you when you are sick and broken. they comfort you when you are in pain. they are open wide when you need to grave a hold of something. they are reaching out and they are full of love. they are my everlasting Kings hands. I pray that i will have helping hands like His.
