In My Poverty - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

In emptying myself
abandoning guile,
the sense of my innate worth
empty without you

The source of all good
even that which I do
good only, if then,
because you are inside me

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.”
