O Holy Spirit - A Collection of Thoughts

On first day of our Bible Study of the book of Nehemiah, we were asked to put our thoughts together as to who the Holy Spirit was to us individually.  We handed in our papers back in September.  There were eleven of us who did the homework.  Two months later our Bible Study leader complied our thoughts and it turned out to be one very beautiful collection.   We hope you are as blessed by it by it as we are.

O  Holy Spirit,

You are the mighty Breath of God, moving on the earth as You will.  You are the Divine Connector, filling the life and heart of each believer and building us together in the body of Christ.  You help us to pray and intercede with power beyond our own ability.  You guide us in righteous living and are our Comforter.  You are our Helper and You convict us of sin.  You empower us to do the works of God because Jesus sent You to help all believers become disciples.

You are powerful, bright and fluid; You are the Driving Force behind our faith.  You are constant and can only do good.  You are like an embrace.  You are God's way of completing us.

I acknowledge You as the Third Person of the Trinity, Who came to live inside me when I became saved.  Sometimes I have a hard time hearing what You have to say and I become angry with You.  But I love you.

You are my Internal Counselor who helps me discern what's right and true.  You guide me with wisdom beyond what I could know.  You guide me in my dreams at night and You teach me things I could not know in the natural.  You help me to face giants and I know I am not going into the battle alone.

You help me to believe that when I pray diligently for others amazing things happen.  You help me to see the lessons in life and know which ones are not for me.  At times I can actually feel the warmth of the embrace we share.

You are my Defender and You fight for me.  Isaiah 59:19 tells me that when the enemy comes in a like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.  You help me during difficult times as well as happy times.  I tell my kids to trust You to protect them when they are scared or lonely and that You will listen when they need someone to talk to.

I am receiving Your peace and joy and I have been happier than I have ever been in my life.  You have a lot of work to do in me yet, but I am very thankful I am not still where I used to be.

Amen
