We are but earthen vessels Into whom The Spirit pours The light of our salvation, But He also give us doors, Which we can choose to open And although He guides the way, We have to listen for Him And the things He has to say. This light that lives inside us, Is directly linked to God And beckons us to follow On the pathway He has trod. It promises the future That the Bible tells about. The garden of beginnings, With the devil rooted out. He knows that we are fragile And how hard it is to be A lowly, earthen vessel Searching for eternity! Betty Lou Hebert |

Betty, thank you for this lovely poem. I am reminded that it wasn't until I was in touch with my brokeness, that I knew God as my Lord and His strength is now mine. Ellie A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |

This is a true message- showing the weakness & fraility of the flesh,and thus our great need for humility and trusting. Yet God choses to entrust His Gospel in Earthen Vessels-showing His great power & confidence that we can serve His Holy purposes for our lives- I appreciate you, Betty Lou!

Sometimes I think that no one understands, but God does, He created me in His image, this poem tells me to go to Him, come into His comfort. I like it. xscoutx |
