I imagine that as much as God loves hands that are busy serving, God loves hands that are yielded to Him even more. Hands that are surrendered. Hands that wait. Hands lifted up to Him in worship first.

God loves our willingness. He loves that we want to be used by Him, for Him. But that must first and always come from a heart that is drawn to and surrendered fully to Him or we will end up doing things to please man instead of God. We will operate in our own strength, possibly for our own agenda. Things that in the end can distract and detract from God. They may be GOOD things but not necessarily GOD things.

Yield. Surrender. Wait. Listen. Then act and serve. Remember, first things first – a heart that seeks after God …. what HE wants to do and will do, is WAY BIGGER than what we could ever do on our own.
