Timid followers,
disciples in the Spirit
sharing the words
of power, of truth,
hope of the
savior, transformed by the Spirit
ignited by the
fire of God’s love
Infused with the Spirit’s
authority
steeled and
changed forever
preaching to the
ends of the earth
to Jew and
Gentile, to slave and free
All were to hear
the Message
of the grace of
God
freely given, by
flames falling,
alighting on each
one of us

Acts 2:1-4, The Message
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.”
