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
I think one of the best feelings in the world is when the Holy Spirit comforts!
I’ve been wanting to blog for days and didn’t know what to say until today. This morning I was on the way to the doctor’s office. All my life my doctors have said they will never know my true blood pressure… I have a huge case of “White Coat Syndrome”. It hits me the moment I pull into the parking lot of the doctor’s office or a hospital. I know it’s silly, but I can’t seem to change it for anything. So this morning I’m in my car about a mile from the doctor’s office and I’m thinking about how silly I am and how I so wish I could just relax. I started to pray about it and all of a sudden felt that incredible feeling inside. I know it’s the Holy Spirit… nothing else feels like that. I smiled, enjoyed it and totally relaxed for a few minutes. I wish I could say it stayed with me and my pulse and blood pressure were normal, but I can’t. I was my usually self once I got inside, but that didn’t stop me from smiling many times today cuz I got to feel that wonderful presence in a big way for a few minutes.
There are Christian’s I have met that seem to have calmness about them just about all the time. I wonder if that’s how they are feeling… are they feeling the comfort of the Spirit so strong and often that it shows to others? If so, I want that bad!! Is it me that pushes it away? I have so many questions about this… especially today after experiencing the strong feeling. I know the Holy Spirit lives within me… no doubt there. I just wish I could feel that incredible presence more often… and then be able to share it with every person on this earth!
~ Lord, thank you so much for the gift of the Holy Spirit. Please help me to be quiet and feel the presence within me more often and if it’s your will, please let me be a vessel to convey to others what I have so that they will want it too. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.~
