After the moment
on Pentecost
when the flames
alighted on them
the living fire of
the Helper
staying within
each one
Able to go as
Christ had gone
sent as He was
sent
teaching others
about the love of God
disciples upon the
way
Called to be Servants
of God
to use our gifts
in this life
to go over the
gunnels of the boats
walking on water
instead
Walking yoked to
our Lord,
the fire still
burning within
Messengers of His
love
to the ends of the
earth

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.”
