“And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.” Mark 4:39
The Holy Spirit, what delightful sensations.
Like standing enveloped in a dense morning fog, the sound of the world is nearby, but the cool, moist blanket keeps you at peace and detached.
Like being snuggled inside a warm woolen blanket; covered head to toe.
Protected from the sharp bitter cold; warmly – softly held.
Like floating in a cool river on a dry, warm day. The harsh, sharp noises filtered and replaced by the sound of rushing water.
And yet, like electricity surging from every point in your body, shooting to the center and then out through the top.
Sending you boldly, without fear, to complete the task at hand.
Oh, Holy Spirit. Gentle us today.
