There
was a believer in Joppa named Tabitha (in Greek, Dorcas).
She was
always doing kind things for others and helping the poor. Acts 9:36
Christ
has no body now on earth but yours;
No
hands but yours;
No
feet but yours;
Yours
are the eyes
Through
which is to look out
Christ’s
compassion to the world;
Yours
are the feet
With
which he is to go about
Doing
good;
Yours
are the hands
With
which he is to bless now.
~
Teresa of Avila (16th century).
