 ♪Holy Spirit, You are welcome here

Come flood this place and fill the atmosphere♪

Holy God,

Thank You for knowing my heart (Luke 16:15). And loving me anyway. In spite of myself (Romans 5:8).

Thank You that we are allowed, encouraged even, to come to You. Exactly as we are.

♪I’ve tasted and seen…

Your presence, Lord♪  

And the missing lines?

♪… Of the sweetest of love

When my heart becomes free

And my shame is undone♪

Oh Dearest, Blessed God, please tell me more about shame that is undone. Love that is sweet. A heart that is free.

Ephesians 3:14-21

John 7:37-39; 13:34-35

(5:21 a.m.)

No sooner asked than answered. The opportunity to explore and read of other people’s experiences. Verses from Your Word serving as guideposts along the way.

Father, thank You for experiences that lead us to lean on and trust in You. Sparking hope. Faith. Belief.

Yes! Holy Spirit, You ARE welcome here! Come flood this place and fill the atmosphere.

♪Your glory, God, is what our hearts long for

To be overcome by Your presence, Lord♪

Use me exactly as You know is best. Yours is absolutely the sweetest of loves. I want to encounter and represent it well this day. Which You have made (Psalm 118:24a). Rejoicing and being glad in it (24b).

Do all You must Dearest God. That I will truly love as You desire. You. Others. And myself (Mark 12:31). With all my heart, soul, mind and strength (v. 30).

Sweetly. With a free heart. And undone shame.

Like ‘rivers of living waters’ flowing from the Spirit’s heart (John 7:38) through mine to others. I long to be Your vessel Lord. Thank You. Praise You. Amen.
