God has done so much more for us than we are able to grasp, or
accept, or to savor. Consider this: “The love of God has been poured into our
hearts by the Holy Spirit that has been given to us” (Romans 5:5).
This is so great that it may be difficult for us to wrap our
minds around it: We ALREADY have the Holy Spirit within us even if we’ve never
been aware of it. But once we realize that we have been given this incredible
gift—without doing anything to earn it—then, questions arise: How often do we
access it? How often do we surrender to it? How often do we you seek its
guidance in every detail of our lives? How have we managed to survive without
continual daily recourse to something so much greater than we are in ourselves
alone?
Sit with this for a while, today. Don’t try to think it to
death. Simply breathe and allow yourself to be with it. Begin to savor it. And then, when you are
able, make up your own prayer to the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will guide
you as you do this.
More next time.
