But the one place to which I want to go and stay is heaven, the eternal reward of the redeemed and the home of my heavenly Father. I want to see my Father, His Son and Holy Spirit in all their glory.

Being the hands of Jesus requires us becoming people who are known for our love, our joy and our peace, but also people known for our patience.
