Hand in hand with me

Today’s Holy Spirit Love Note:

Hold onto the excitement you feel for potential; that spark of delight is a glimpse of how I feel every time I look at you. I see you, really see you, and I know you even better than you know yourself. As you open your eyes each morning I am bursting with love for you, thrilled for the day we will have together. There is no exception to this truth, none at all, ever.

And the delight you feel when things seem to fall into place is a mere shadow, a tiny reflection, of the joy in my heart every time you take a step forward into my best for you. Like a proud parent cheering on a child as he takes his first steps, I am cheering you on, encouraging you with every single step you take.

Not every step will feel easy to you. You’re going to have some wobbles along the way. There will be times when you fall down and you don’t know if you can get back up. And then you dig deep, lean into me and allow me to help you and, little by little, you clamber back to your feet again. It’s won’t always be the most elegant journey but you are trying and that’s all I ever ask of you.

And with every step you take you’re getting stronger and more confident in who you are. Who you are and Whose you are. As you grow in your relationship with me, as you get stronger, expect to lean on me even more.

In the natural you’d call that immature; you wouldn’t expect a fully grown adult to walk around holding a parent’s hand for support, but in the spiritual, the more mature you get, the more you hold my hand. Why? Because you were created to live hand in hand with me. It’s the most perfect position in all the world!
