Full hands at the end of a life do not always tell of true success. Earthly failure is ofttimes higher success in God's eyes than what men regard as success. Scars of wounds gotten in conflict and strife with sin are more splendid marks of honour, when the hands are held up before God, than diamonds and gold and crowns gained by yielding in life's conflicts. Strive to get your hands filled with the invisible things of God's heavenly kingdom. Fight the battles of life heroically, and never mind the scars. Better have wounded and empty hands that are clean than hands that are full and yet are stained with sin.
