I feel a breath of spring this morning. With the heater on, I was permitted to go on my big, country porch, with my Cup of Fancy (Choc’pecan Coffee). It’s a heat wave! It’s actually going up to 58* today in Ohio.
My memory verse today is from the prayer written by St. Francis. What does it actually mean; the fire of your love?
It’s hard to explain. Unless you have felt The Holy Spirit, and recognized his inner voice, you have never truly experienced God.
What’s so facetious; it’s so easy to have the presence of God living within you. All you need to do is ask.
As the prayer speaks: He will enkindle and ignite within you an overwhelming passion for holiness. As you begin to seek him, you will often feel that you can’t get enough of him.
Since I retired 10 years ago from teaching, this has become my passion. You commanded me to do this 20 years ago; my book The Erstwhile Acorn. I am just being obedient to your decrees placed upon me. I am blessed that you have given me this ministry.
If you are at a crossroads in your life, and have not invited The Holy Spirit into your life, I strongly suggest that you do so.
No matter your age, he can start you on a new adventure. Never in my wildest dreams, did I ever believe
that I’d become a published author. However(Jer. 29:11); He knew the plan all along, since he formed me in my mother’s womb.
When the Holy Spirit lives within you, a fire burns for more and more of HIM! I can’t explain it. It’s a miracle of Faith; it’s just something you know and feel.
A Big Suggestion: before your kids run out to the bus, make extra time to pray with them. It sets everyone’s mindset for the day.
“Holy Spirit, as I walk through my day, be ever present in my thoughts, words, and actions.” Amen. Simple and to the point.
May the Fire of The Holy Spirit, burn within you and create a passion for God, that fills you to the brim.
Thank you, Father, for blessing me this day.
John 14:26-27 But the Counselor, The Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you of everything I have said to you. Peace I leave with you: my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled and do not be afraid.
2 Cor 4:7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all surpassing power is from from God, and not from us.
Psalm 22:3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabits the praises of Israel.
