I've heard it said that grace is God reaching God's hands into the world. And the Bible tells us that we are part of the body of Christ, that if we let the Spirit move through us, we can become the hands of Christ on earth. Hands that heal, bless, unite, and love.

God's hands are those of a creator—an artist who molded and shaped the universe out of a void, who hewed matter from nothingness.
