It doesn't happen very often that you come face to face with the Spirit in another person. You don't have to know anything about the person, but you do have to know and recognize the Spirit. You know that the two of you share something very special. Let it be what it is. You've known this Spirit. You've touched this Spirit. You recognize this Spirit. It is immediate recognition. How is it that I meet the same Spirit in another without the Spirit being divided? How does Spirit live in so many and still remain completely whole? "O sweet mystery of life, at last I have found you. At last I know the secret of it all." An old song. To know You is to love You, to trust You, to know perfect peace in Your presence.
To know you in a peace that is beyond my understanding. You tell me not to lean on my own understanding, but in all my ways acknowledge You, and You will direct my path.
Sweet, sweet Spirit, Jesus, God in three persons. Perfect. Complete. One. Love, joy, one. "You're real, you're really real!" My first words to Him. " He touched me! O, He touched me, and O, the joy that filled my soul. Something happened, and now I know. He touched me, and me me whole."
Greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world. Sweet, Sabbath, sweet Christmas, sweet Easter. Sweeter still 24/7! 365 days a year, through all eternity. What an amazing gift. Let this gift that I've received somehow pass through me and may Your touch be recognized. May we all say, "You're real, you're really real!"
In that moment you'll know Him in that deep peace. Jesus' prayer in John 17. Let every day be Christ day. You meet Him in the strangest places.
In His Love, a work in progress.
