As I muse and ponder on the Holy Spirit all that comes to mind is that I cannot live without Him. I think over my history with God for the last 25 years and all I can see are the times He has whispered encouragement in my ear to keep going it’s worth it. I remember how many times He has told me He loved me and I am beautiful, that I am a jewel in his hand and a princess. He has called me out when I wanted to hide and revealed my heart when I was not being honest with him. He has pursued me with his love telling me He missed me and filled me with his power as I felt weak and didn’t want to go on. He has healed me from so many hurts, so my relationship with my family and friends has deepened and then filled my heart with even more love and compassion for those around me. He has washed my heart clean countless times as I needed forgiveness. He has given me gifts so I can prophesy over, encourage and deliver those who need it, being part of the excitement of bringing in the kingdom. He has given me strength to step out and be who I was truly meant to be, someone full of faith and passion.
As I read the Bible He brings it alive and speaks to me causing my heart to rise again with understanding and hope. He has shown me which way to go and given me wisdom when I had absolutely no clue (especially with children!!). He has filled my imagination with his language, teasers and treasures to draw me deeper into relationship with him. He has shown me what my dreams are and given me courage to start to falteringly follow them. He gives me energy for each day and hope for the future. He is always there, never leaving me as He is in me and all around me. He has made new pathways in my brain so I can think differently realizing in a fresh way who He is and who I am. He has healed my body so it works differently. He has filled me with a strength of joy that I never knew existed and made me laugh like I have never laughed before. He is ever growing all his fruit in my life even while I sleep! so I can express Jesus to those around me.
Where I end He begins. That’s all.
