How I missed the cool ocean breeze on my face this morning! The hill I ran up seemed longer and more difficult than a few weeks ago. Home from vacation, feeling the reality of Georgia humidity.
“The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” -Jesus. John 3:8 ESV
What a difference wind makes in the heat. A delicious little refreshment as the sun is beating down. Like the Spirit God sent as our daily companion through life. Up hill and down, He’s there to encourage, strengthen, enlighten – refresh.
“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.” -Jesus. John 14:26 ESV
I’ve heard it said we do not receive more of God’s Spirit, yett as we “die to ourselves,” there is more space for Him to move around. Possibly, we are able to hear Him more clearly speaking… something to think on.
“When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all the truth, for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak, and He will declare to you the things that are to come.” -Jesus. John 16:13 ESV
“Rushing wind blow through this temple, blowing out the dust within, come and breathe Your breathe upon me, I’ve been born-again.” – Keith Greene
“If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?” -Jesus. Luke 11:13 ESV
ForGlorySake! –Anna
