As simple as a hand, so is what I believe the Lord is showing me for my life. A hand has 5 fingers, four fingers and one thumb to bind them together.
When I see a hand, I see four fingers showing the mission statement and one thumb to bind all together symbolizing Jesus through whom I am able to do this. Only with Jesus I am able to point to healing and restoration, to encouragement and accountability and to healthy leadership as well. The hand is only complete with the thumb.
- One finger stands for H.ealing and restoration- this means the process a person needs to get unstuck, to see change and to be restored inside out.
- Another finger stands for E.ncouragement and exhortation- this means the importance of giving encouraging words during a healing process.
- Another finger stands for A.ccountability and Application- this means to stay in reach of others, to share deep thoughts and emotions with others and to let specific people talk into our lives. Application is a very important component. It means that I need to be practical and to have tools ready to be applied in real life!
- The fourth finger stands for L.eadership and constant learning- It is important to know what healthy leadership is and also that we need to learn constantly.
- The thumb symbolizes Jesus and HIS role in this mission. He is the beginning and the end and through Him I will be able to be God’s hand extended.
This hand shall be extended to an aching world in need of healing and restoration, in need of a change, in need of life, in need of JESUS.
