In my devotions this morning I felt the comfort of the Spirit and I began to try and describe what I was feeling, so I decided to try and write it down, this is what I came up with.
The Holy Spirit vitalizes
my inner senses,
He enlivens my sympathies:
He rouses my desires to do
good to others.
He sweeps through my heart
with feelings of loving-kindness for those I know and the strangers I do
not.
He kindles my soul with
mercy and inflames my zeal for justice.
And dampens my desire for
the carnal.
He gladdens my heart,
broadens my interests and expands my horizons.
He inspires my creativity
and reveals hidden beauty in all things, from the lisping’s of a child, the
lines in the face and the blush of the rose.
He turns my mourning into
dancing and deepens my devotion to the Savior.
He illuminates the Holy
text and ceaselessly draws me forward.
He gives my patience
endurance and my mercies depth.
He stills my mind and
calms my fears.
He minimizes my longings
and brings content in simplicity.
He stirs my heart with
noble themes and muffles the call of the wicked.
He pilots me towards peace
and His ways lead to purity.
He protects innocence,
advances virtue and brings great joy.
And I will sing of the
mercies of the Lord forever!
