Open Hands
Freedom grows where control ends.
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
Matthew 11:28
Some traps are invisible until we tighten our grip. In life and in work, holding too tightly to outcomes turns blessings into burdens.
Jesus invites exchange, not exhaustion. When we release control, He replaces weight with rest. For a trader, that may mean accepting risk with discipline rather than fear; for everyone, it means trusting the One who governs outcomes we cannot.
Hands that stay open are free to receive again. That is the rhythm of true blessing—surrender, then supply.
