Emptied Himself – v2


He emptied himself, the eternal, immortal
the totality of God, the power within him
his Godliness, making himself human
humble, a servant, a slave to the master
even to death, to death on a cross
But his skin, was love,
his healing touch, his life in the world
a balm to all, salvation and healing
offered to each one of us
to bring us back to God

“Infinite Love” 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.”
