And tightly
Bound together,
To the very same
Supernatural miracle
Of God's amazing grace
That softens
Hardened hearts
And makes us one
In mind and heart
With our Creator.2 Corinthians 5:171 John 4:20-21
For just as surely
As we cannot wash
A table full of dirty dishes
Without our own fingers
Getting cleaner with it,
And neither can we help
Our neighbor wash
His muddy car
Without our own hands
Getting softer
In the soapy water.
So too,
With all the Lord
Has promised He will do.
Because
Neither can we stoop
To wash the feet
Of one anotherLuke 7:36-50
Or seek to bind the wounds
Or heal the hurts
Of one another
Without our own hands
Getting cleaner
And without our own heart
Getting softer
In the soapy water
Of the Spirit
Of He who did the same.John 13:2-14
For it wasn't
Just the act
Of Naaman dipping
In the river seven times
That healed him.
It was the fact
That it symbolized the fact,
That if we seek to feed
The needs of others first,
All the time,
Even when we only have
A mustard seed of faith
Or peace of mind,Zechariah 7:8-10
Then He who healed
Naaman's leprosy
Has promised
He will also heal
