We Are His Hands

You are his hands. 

Today in Church I was listening to the testimonies of others and one member bore her testimony about doing the Lord's work. She shared something that I have never really thought of before, but it stuck out to me and made me think. She told of a talk that Elder Uchtdorf of the first presidency gave a talk about a statue of Christ that was damaged in WWII. After a bombing in WWII the statue was repaired but its hands were never the same. A sign was placed in front of the statue that read: "You are my hands." This is what struck me about this talk. I know that we are here to do the Lord's work, but I never really thought that we are literally his hands. Through us Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ do their work. I want you to watch his whole talk. While you watch I want you to think of this question: What am I doing with the Lord's hands?"

With your hands you can touch others lives. I am going to ask you to really ponder this question: What are you doing with the Lord's hands? I know that with our hands we can change lives. With our hands we can make a difference. With our hands we can bring to pass the work of the Savior. I know we can do amazing things with our hands. I encourage you to choose to do the Lord's work with the hands he has blessed you with. I know that this is the true gospel. I know that we can return to live with our Heavenly Father and his son Jesus Christ again someday. I know they know us and love us. We are important to them and they will always be there for us. Never give up. I love you all. I know this true.
In the name of Jesus Christ,
Amen

Love,
