Vessels of Christ - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

We are freed
by the sacrifice of Christ
dying with him
with him we rise to life

The Spirit living
deep inside of us
vessels of Christ
living on the earth

Free to love, to live
the commandments of our king
lightly in the world
loving our neighbor

Nothing else
living in our savior
focus on him
that is all that matters

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.”
