LIGHT

Tonight was great...I feel like it was one of those nights you just don't forget. We had small group which is always great, but  I would definitely say the Holy Spirit met us, met me in a great way. We took about 15 minutes at the end to just soak up the presence of the Holy Spirit. I had a pencil and piece of paper and after a few moments began to write. It started with a word and from that the words just started to flow as I wrote in that moment. These are the words that came from that moment. (Notice how the "I" shifts from my perspective to that of the Holy Spirit.)

"I know not where I walk. I know not where I go, but the Lord directs my steps. The Lord leads me in His way, in His good and perfect way. I will not fear, for it is not of my own will but of the will of the Lord. This journey is hard, the path is rough, but it is good and right and true. And just as you walk there am I also with you. I will never, I will never leave you. You are my love, my child with whom I am pleased. I see the good, not the bad because I see you as you truly are. You are forever mine, and nothing will separate. Not the winds, not the oceans, not even your own might will separate me from you. I see myself in your eyes, and you can see it too. I have not hidden myself from you, nor will I ever, not in life or death, in this life or the next. Open your eyes, I want to show you my world. I want to show you all that I have for you, all that I created for you. Fear not, for I know the way, I will show you the way. For I made this way, I prepared this path, this journey with you in mind. I smiled when I made it. I still smile when I think of you. Think of me too, and smile. For there is no joy we will not share, there is no sorrow we will not share. Though doubts arise, though clouds may come, I am your beacon. I will always shine, through the darkest night, through the roughest storm. I am steadfast. I am unshakable, and I am able and willing to be your shelter, your dwelling place. And my light is no longer separate from you. Light. Experience my light, for it is yours. And with that light you too are a beacon. You radiate, for that is what you were created for. There is no shame in the light, for no darkness can dispel the light.
Breathe me in. I am here. For you cannot separate yourself from me anymore than you can separate yourself from the air that you breathe."

To God be the glory.
