Open hands and open hearts
These words reminded me of the children at CRIBS (foundation) whom I’ve visited last December.
I could still remember the warm welcome of those walking and crawling infants.
Upon entering the room, I could already see the excitement of these infants who rushed towards me with arms up and hands open.
Well, they are hinting me to carry them and take care of them.
It’s so heartbreaking to see these kids abandoned, longing for love and a family to live with.
At a young age, the foundation has been their shelter along with other orphaned children of different ages. These children, due to poverty, may have been left in there.
It made me realize that there are a lot out there who needs helping and generous hands. May it be financial, time, encouragement, love and care.

Living at a house with a family to go home with, eating 3 meals or more a day… thinking of that, we are so blessed. And because God has blessed us with enough, may we extend that generosity to anyone we meet, especially the troubled, the poor and the needy.
May we always give with Open hands and Open hearts.
Open hands signifying generosity and may it be with open hearts,
a heart that is not stingy. A heart that truly desires to give.
May we give at all the right motives, and it’s to be a channel of blessing and to
always glorify God which just shows the outflow of his love and grace in our lives.

We are not meant to come to Christ by Addition but by SUBMISSION.
We shouldn’t just add God as an extra in our lives
but by Submission, in which we surrender our lives to Him. Submitting to His Lordship.
And us we delight in Him, and as we abide in His commands which includes giving generously to the poor, God is delighted and so He grants us our heart’s desires.
Having showers of blessings are just an add on.
Knowing that you have blessed and help others gives joy that
outweighs all material blessings.

With these, I am reminded of the verse from
Deut. 15:10-11 NIV
Give generously to them and do so without a grudging heart;
then because this, the Lord your God will bless you in all your work
and in everything you put your hand to.
There will always be poor people in the land.
Therefore I command you to be openhanded toward your
fellow Israelites who are poor and needy in your land.

As we give in every day life, may we be reminded of God’s generous love and grace that has been given us daily, May our act of giving be because of the outflow of that love.
May we give with open hands and open hearts, sharing Jesus to everyone we meet especially those who are in need.
