The Holy Spirit

God Afternoon Family,

This bears repeating in the light of the coming Christmas Season.

The Holy Spirit is so awesome. He truly is God with us. He is waiting, anticipating the moment when we will realize HE IS PRESENT. He longs for the one who will acknowledge Him and inquire of Him. It is the one that says "Teach me Holy Spirit" that causes His heart to leap with joy.

We go through our lives so hurried and distracted. We just breeze past the Holy Spirit, and sometimes trample over Him, to do what we think is best. He is so humble. He just picks Himself up brushes off our footprints and waits some more.

Oh how He loves us Family! He so wants to help us. Softly He speaks, barely over a whisper, the words that would take us to that place of blessing. We hear but we do not hear. Then after our lives fall apart because of our way of doing things we accuse God of not helping.

He is here! He is ever present! He desires to see us blessed more than we do. But He has a way. He will not shout, or force His way in. He is love and love waits to be invited.

Our Jesus died that we may know Him intimately. Even when He walked this earth no one had such a great privilege. Then, He could only be known in a crowd. But now His Spirit dwells IN US. He is Emmanuel...GOD WITH US! Yet we barely take notice...

How meek and gentle He is to wait for a people so stupid. How merciful the Father that He doesn't destroy us for treating The Holy Spirit like a pair of dirty socks.

Let us seek Him while He can be found Family. He waits and waits....

He will not wait forever.

He woke up and thought, "I'll leave as I did before and shake myself free." But he did not know that the Lord had left him. Judges 16:20 (NCV)

Stay in Prayer and in the Word.

Love in Our Lord,

Lauren
