Welcoming the Spirit
We are now in the last two weeks of the Easter season and
the Word of God that we hear is all about the Spirit – the Advocate Jesus
promised would come and dwell with us.
How do you experience the presence of the Spirit in your life?
During the Easter season I have been privileged to walk
with college students at Western Kentucky University who participated in a
“Busy Person’s Retreat.” I was awed and
impressed that in the last two weeks of spring semester classes these students
took time to spend with the Scripture and with listening to what the Spirit has
to say to them. College students have a
lot of stress: How will I pay my
bills? Will I find a job - a career that
will be meaningful to me? And yet, in
the midst of busyness it is so important not to lose sight of the prize –
living a life that is guided by the Spirit of God, building the reign of God
here on this precious earth of ours.
How do you take time to listen to the Spirit of God living
within you? What is the Spirit saying to
you in the springtime of your life?
