October 6, 2013: Filled With Life – Michael Hidalgo

The Holy Spirit can seem like a shifty, hard-to-pin-down member of the Tri-Une God. I mean, how do you capture the wind and store it for a later date? What is a breath that is here and gone? Honestly, this is how it seems much of the time with the Spirit of God. Here and there and gone and again. However, what we have to remember is that the Spirit was there at the beginning. And he has been with us ever since.

He has appeared as the voice of God, the Glory of God, the Wisdom of God … and still is all those things. However, instead of being outside of us, he is now within us and on us so that we can accomplish the task to which God has called us. Perhaps it would do us well to know that as the Spirit is in us we also are invited to be in the Spirit. It is an invitation to experience deep, lasting union with the Triune God.
