Humans can produce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to a spiritual life. –John 3:6(NLT)
BIRTH OF SPIRITUAL LIFE
A poem and essay by ILMA
Human reasoning can only breed human understanding
The Spirit of God can change us and our limited reasoning
Because we are physical beings, we can’t comprehend the spirit
The Holy Spirit can give birth to a spiritual life; you must not fight it.
Praise the presence of the Spirit in your heart
He is there to keep you close to God and never apart
He convicts you of sin and shows you a way out
He protects you from temptations and doubts.
God created the whole universe and mankind by breathing his word on each of his creation. It is through his word that everything in this world came about. It is his powerful breath that made each of us alive. It is inhaling air in and out of us that we remain full of life. Just as air is important for our physical well being, the Spirit of God is also indispensable in our spiritual lives. Without the presence of the Holy Spirit in our Christian lives, we will be deprived of life.
The bible clearly tells us the limitations of humans. We can only do things that are mostly physical in nature, only the spirit of God can give birth to a spiritual life.
PRAYER
Holy Spirit, live in my heart.
REFLECTION
How can you grow in your spiritual life?
