Willing Hands

We all have a purpose in life. We are not an accident. We may not know or understand it fully yet, but we do have a purpose. We have a God-given reason to exist. We were created with a purpose, as part of God's master plan. Our purpose includes a life of service. We were uniquely created to help serve others, and not just yourself.

Did you know that God actually prepares opportunities for us to serve? Yes, the Almighty Creator of all that we know cares enough about each of us to give us special occasions to help other people. He wants to teach us to become more like Him through service. In the Bible, the apostle Paul says so. "For we are his workmanship, having been created in Christ Jesus for good works that God prepared beforehand so we may do them." (Ephesians 2:10) That is the purpose of this book as well. It is to remind and encourage both Christians and non-Christians of the amazing plan and responsibility to serve. Anyone who helps handicapped children or mentally disabled adults, or serves the homeless knows how much they get in return. It feels good to help others. Those who give often receive back much more than expected.

The reader will find Willing Hands full of proven ideas and simple reminders that service is not complicated, costly, or out-of-reach. Each suggestion has been written to be concise and to-the-point. Each recommendation within this book can easily be made an active part of our lives. Service may not always easy, and sometimes we all need a bit of encouragement and support, but it truly is a great way of life.
