At times I think, if I˅d only had a
sense of this throughout my life, I
would have lived so differently. But
the truth was always there, it is me
who has changed. It took this many
years (I am very thick-headed) for
God to prepare my heart to even be
open to the idea of His
wanting
to
pour down His grace and light, let
alone the impact of that voluminous
waterfall of His love into the granitite
-y core of my being. He carved out a space for His indwelling from
rock-hard walls of grief, stupidity and endless neediness. Perhaps, if
this had happened earlier in my life before He knew I could bear it,
His truth would have shattered me. And I try to hold onto this when I
feel impatient for His revelation of my path.
The Spirit has come and tells us the truth; everything is ours. The Al-
mighty has given us
everything
, if only we would have ears to hear it
and the courage to believe it. In loving and thus glorifying Him, we
are our most true selves.

Come Holy Spirit
Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the
fire of your love. Send forth your spirit and they shall be created. And
you shall renew the face of the earth. Amen
