Open hand, open heart

I remember a few years ago when a worship leader was talking about the symbolism of an open hand during worship. If we stand with closed hands, grasping onto the things of this world (an obsession, a selfish desire, a trial, a recurring sin, etc), we stand with clenched fists that are not open to receive the wonderful blessings and gifts that God has prepared for us, or the tools necessary to combat our struggle.

When I worship I love opening up my hand. I feel like it creates this flowing energy between me and God. I open my heart and ask God to change and mold me. I ask for God to make my heart more in tune with His.

What you are holding onto? What's in your clenched fist that you need to let go of, to be freed from the chains of this world so that we can truly experience Christ?

There are no limits when we stand with open hands and an open heart.
