4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
1 Corinthians 12:4-6 KJV
~~~~~~~~~~~
A breeze wafts through a window open wide;
The curtain shudders, papers flutter, too;
A candle light makes shadows dance and glide,
And all these things a single breeze can do.
The Spirit moves ten million souls and more
As preachers, teachers, missionaries, clerks,
To prophesy, to write, to mind the store;
We serve a single Master in our work.
Discretion, grace and patience all are gifts
Bestowed by just a single, holy God;
The Father’s love that heals, reveals, uplifts
Can resurrect the dead and leave us awed.
Such wondrous grace upholds the universe
And shows in all we do as we traverse.
