Week 14 - The Journey Day 4
"The wind blows where it wills, and you can hear the sound it makes, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes; so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit."" John 3:8
Nicodemus knows Jesus has God with Him because of the signs but he has yet to know the Triune God. In meeting with Nicodemus, Jesus knows nothing happens of God without the Holy Spirits guidance and intervention. Jesus also knows he must learn this before the Spirit blows upon him.
Like the wind we can not control which way it goes or what it will do, just like the Holy Spirit. And like the wind we can be prepared for when it is ready to move. Nicodemus was being drawn to God, the Son of Man recognizing this, heard His Fathers voice and acted upon it, enabling Nicodemus to be ready.
God can not move without our cooperation, it is in this dance of life when we ponder the happenings of our days and seeing the mystery of God at work. Seeing the call for actions, to move with God, in unison with God and be a part of the mystery. You matter, your actions matter, the mystery is revealed one day at a time just as in the life of the Son of Man and in the life of the Spouse of the Holy Spirit when they walked on earth in the flesh.
What is God saying to me? Nothing is by chance, your choices are yours but I am always out in front. You see the prize, you see the goal continue along the path, it is being revealed a little each day. You matter to Me, I would do it all just for you.
Dear Father, there is such profound mystery in the happenings of our days. I watched and listened as You teach upon the Holy Spirit, through others, through words heard, through events. Continue to grow this sense of awe in this world, my heart is Yours and I know You are there for I recognize what You recognize. Prayers for married couples to slow down and recognize the gift that You have given each of us in the marriage covenant. Prayers for marriages struggling, help them hear Your voice calling them, drawing them closer. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, House of God, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Protector of Holy Church, Pray for us.
Viva Cristo Rey.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
