The HS

The HS. The Holy Ghost. The Spirit. I have become so fascinated by the Holy Spirit. The very fact that Jesus Christ lives inside of us amazes me. If there is any way to explain that properly, I think every believer fails at it. I mean, how awesome is our God to come into our lives? Literally.
Here is one passage from Luke that really amazed me:

"Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.”
-Luke 17:20-21(New King James Version)

A Sufjan Stevens line:

“You gave Your Ghost,
To be alone with me”
-from “To Be Alone With You” (Seven Swans)

Another verse:

“And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.”
-John 14:16-17 (New International Version, ©2010)

I am just amazed by the Joy, Peace, Hope, Confidence, Comfort, Love we gain from Christ. Thanks be to the Holy Spirit.

Jesus,
I want to worship everyday in Your presence. I pray Your Spirit would fall on me heavier each time, and I pray that I can see Your face more each time I pray. I praise You for not only dying for my sin, resurrecting for me to have a relationship with You, but also for giving me Your Holy Spirit to feel and experience You.

And, I have to add a John Mark McMillan quote to end this post…

“Make my chest a place where Your Heart can rest”
- from “Who Can See”
