my will, my all, given over to you
Fill me Lord, your life, your Spirit
your will acted out
Let me be the gloves,
your hands working through me
touching the world, reaching out
into the darkness, bringing your strength,
your life, through my skin,
merely your gloves

and quote attributed to Corrie ten Bloom,
“I have a glove here in my hand.
The glove cannot do anything by itself, but when my hand is in it, it
can do many things. True, it is not the
glove, but my hand in the glove that acts.
We are gloves. It is the Holy
Spirit in us who is the hand, who does the job.
We have to make room for the hand so that every finger is filled.”
