Benjamin reached for the baby. Fresh in from working, he bounced him on his knee.
It was a sweet picture…
...until I noticed his hands.
They were filthy.
He shouldn't be holding a baby
with such dirty hands.
Sometimes we pray things that we don’t fully
understand; I clearly remember mine …
“Lord, give me clean hands
and a pure heart”
Today, while watching my brother’s hands, I understand why I prayed that.
I touch so many people in a day.
Before I reach out, do I look at my hands?
'Christ in me wants to
keep you clean.'
So I resist reaching out…
until I have gone to Him
and He has washed my
hands clean.

and renew a right spirit within me" ~David
