AM I THY PURSE?

A favorite poem from high school, which kinda got modified over the years into this (I will also post a link to the actual poem). was originally written by Edward Taylor. The posted devotion on Matthew 10 got me thinking of this poem again, and it's powerful message:

"Am I thy purse, Lord,

or gold for Thy wealth?
Men count me so,

but count me o'er Thyself;

Lest gold-washed face,

and brass in heart I be.

Am I new minted

by Thy stamp indeed?

My eyes are dim,

But doest Thou see

Thine image and Thy inscription

Stamped on me?"
