What does it mean to think and to act in a manner consistent with His character?
There are a great many with many great needs. God has designed, called, equipped, encouraged and shown us that it is necessary for us to reach out with open hands and make a tangible difference in the lives of those around us.
Open Hands explores the nature of compassion, kindness, love, grace, justice and mercy.
