I came across a beautiful prayer written by Henri Nouwen, in his book “The Only Necessary Thing: Living a Prayerful Life”, it says:
“Dear God,
I am so afraid to open my clenched fists!
Who will I be when I have nothing left to hold on to?
Who will I be when I stand before you with empty hands?
Please help me to gradually open my hands
and to discover that I am not what I own,
but what you want to give me.”
I am so afraid to open my clenched fists!
Who will I be when I have nothing left to hold on to?
Who will I be when I stand before you with empty hands?
Please help me to gradually open my hands
and to discover that I am not what I own,
but what you want to give me.”
May we indeed come into
our senses that we own nothing and we only have because we have Him. What He
gives we share to others.
