Your Spirit O Lord

Thank you Lord for your Spirit

for it draws my heart closer to you and puts a fire within my soul.

Thank you Lord for your Spirit

that fills me with your Love & your Grace when I fall short, and prompts my heart to desire to be more like You!

Thank you Lord for your Spirit

that becomes Hope to my weary heart 

in times of chaos and violence in our world.

Thank you Lord for your Spirit

that teaches me those things that are good,

true, simple and pure which have become the 

foundation that changed my life.

Thank you Lord for your Spirit

in these times when everyone has an opinion

and the lies and deceit of many are strong.

It is Your Spirit that surrounds my heart and my mind. 

It is Your Spirit that keeps my Faith from faltering.

Thank you Lord for your Spirit which has become my Truth, for I now know what is evil, although everyone around me is teaching that the evil they do, they now call good. 

How contrary and confusing all their foolishness is!

Thank you Lord for your Spirit

that encourages me to love others

Just like you love me, unconditionally.

Thank you Lord for your Spirit

that has given me kindness, forgiveness, and purpose, 

which has touched the lives of those around me.

It has been Your Spirit O Lord that has been

The Light to them whom you have placed in

my home and in my path. For many lives have been changed 

and transformed because of Your Spirit O Lord.

Thank you Lord for your Spirit

that makes the way for anyone who wants to experience Your Love

and Your forgiveness, to just cry out.

And they will indeed see your Face.

1 Corinthians 2:9-14

But as it is written:

“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.

But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
