Prodigal: Those are some dandy gloves!

Me: I agree, that goes with the story I found today.

This is from the book The Power of a Woman’s Words by Sharon Jaynes

Holocaust survivor Corrie ten Boom spent the last years of her life speaking to men and women all around the world about God.

During one of her presentations, she held up a lady’s white glove.

“What can this white glove do? she asked. Then she went to explain…

The glove can do nothing. “Oh, but if my hand is in the glove, it can do many things….cook, play the piano, write. Well, you say that is not the glove but the hand in the glove that does it. Yes, that is so. I tell you that we are nothing but gloves. The hand in the glove is the Holy Spirit of God. Can the glove do something if it is very near the hand? No! The glove must be filled with the hand to do the work. That is exactly the same for us: We must be filled with the Holy Spirit to do the work of Go has for us to do.

Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. (Proverbs 4:23).
