Look on little deeds as great, on account of Christ, who dwells in us, and watches our life; look on great deeds as easy, on account of His great power.

Blaise Pascal

In the book written by the prophet Isaiah, God announced that he would send his Son to earth, and that a special messenger would arrive first to prepare the world for his coming.  “This messenger will live out in the barren wilderness,” Isaiah said, “and will proclaim that everyone must straighten out his life to be ready for the Lord’s arrival.”  This messenger was John the Baptist.  He lived in the wilderness and taught that all should be baptized as a public announcement of their decision to turn their backs on sin, so that God could forgive them.

Mark 1:2-4
The Living Bible

Open hands should characterize the soul’s attitude towards God—open to receive what he wants to give, open to give back what he wants to take.

Elisabeth Elliot
