The Hands and Feet
Inspirational Poetry
Our Lord has no body here but ours. No hands, no feet on earth but yours. We are the eyes through which He looks with compassion on this world. We all have different functions. “Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.” (1 Peter 4:10)
We are the
Hands and feet
The vessels chosen
To serve others
A calling
A gift
Perhaps something more!
We get far more
Than we receive
Through
The works
Of his Grace.
We all have
Something we can
Give
Big or small
A smile
A kind gesture
A word
To lighten
The darkest
Of hearts.
Prayer can
Move mountains
It only takes
Faith the size
Of a mustard seed
And that mountain
Will move
If only we believe.
Perhaps not always
In the direction we
Want
Because he knows
Far better than us
What we need.
There is evil
In this world
Forces of darkness
Fighting to take
Away the light
But we have the
Power
To say no
This isn’t right!
So always
Remember
We are the
Hands and feet
The light in the darkness
And act accordingly!

Our Greatest Treasure
Matthew 1:18–21 NIV This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. [19] Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. [20] But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. [21] She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”
