THE SPIRIT

Any way we receive the Spirit is just as real and just as good as any other. God meets us where we are and makes a healing presence known to us in the exact way we are most ready to experience it. She fills our hearts in whatever measure we are open to the Spirit, just like any true lover might desire to do.

And when grace does happen, we know that we did nothing to deserve it. It is God’s graciousness, “or grace would not be grace at all” (Romans 11:6). It is what makes people fall in love with God. So be open to surrendering to such “radical grace.”
