Like A Hand In A Glove

Contributed by Craig Cramblet on Sep 1, 2004

I read a devotional by Corrie ten Boom and it stirred my imagination. This is really a children’s message/object lesson but certainly could be expanded to challenge any group of believers to fully surrender to God’s work in their lives.

(For the object lesson, I found thin, inexpensive food service gloves in the church kitchen. If you want to expand the illustraion...the fragile, temporary nature of these gloves makes a point that a cotton or leather glove would not!) What is this? A glove. Actually, it is a specific kind of ...read more
