Words that Heal, that Challenge, that Guide – v3

The words rolled off the page, off her tongue
oh so familiar joyous words, our hope.
Words of the scriptures, ancient and alive,
for us in the congregation, words of assurance,
of God’s love, of God’s call.

The challenge to be disciples
to be parts of the body, to live out our faith
in the community of believers.
Each a part of the Creator’s plan
the hands, the feet, the parts of the body.

Ever bound in community
better together than apart.
