Happenings (page 47)

At Pentecost, we are given the Holy Spirit. I think for the first time, I realize that the gift of the Spirit is the indwelling of Jesus in me.

God loves and dwells within us. Jesus is asking His Father that we might be one with them. One in heart, one in the soul, one in Love.

Jesus came to His Disciples in their fear, isolation, and lostness. He spoke with them, comforted them, assuaged their fear, and even cooked a meal for them.

His mentor encouraged him to use his humor to lift the spirits of people who were burdened rather than making himself the center of attention.

I have come to believe that only God can fill that place in me, and with humility, I think there is a place in God that only I can fill.

Go out and be Jesus for our world. That was His command then and that is His command now.
