The Glove

In the Bible (it says): be filled with the Holy Spirit (see Ephesians 5:18).

I have a glove here. It can’t do anything, but if I put my hand in it, it can do a lot: writing, sewing, and much more. Now I know of course that it isn’t the glove, it’s my hand in the glove. You and l are like gloves, and the Holy Spirit is like the hand­it can do a great deal. If I ball my fist in the middle, the glove flops limply. Each finger has to be filled. Therefore, the Bible says, with practicality, “be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
