Broken for them

The disciples transformed
to feed the people
each of us in turn
given for a purpose

Becoming the barley loaves
the fishes of the youngster
food for their spirits
that the people would be fed

God lifts us up
gifts for a season
for our purpose in life
to feed his hungry people

We are broken for them
if, like Christ, we are submissive
placed in the potter’s hand
broken for his purpose
