my gloves are sitting next to me on my desk- inert. unmoving. dead. they need my hand in them to be useful. to move. to act.

we read in the word about the hand of god and how it moves. and acts. and works for his purposes.

in my self, i am as dead and inert as that glove. i want god to so fill me that when he moves, i move. when he stretches out his finger- i stretch. and when he withdraws- so do i.

i want to be god's glove. and i want him to fill me.

I hear ya' notyet.

The hardest glove for me to be is the one that is supposed to sit still and do nothing. Sometimes he just wants me to be still. But I don't like to be still. When I'm still, I feel my inadequacy. I feel the pain of my past failures and disappoinments. But, then, I also hear his whisper... "I'm here. I know all about those things." (and then, in a really, really small voice) "psst, i still love you."

I like your analogy of a glove.
Something I struggle with is the inert part. I need to learn to remain unmoving until God's hand moves me - going only where it wants me to go. Too often I have allowed my glove to be filled with my own self, going in the direction I want to go, only to end up singed, frayed and injured.
Father please let me be like that glove, patiently waiting for your hand to fill me, going only in your direction, moving not by my own power but Yours alone.
