Spirit-filled life and walk
"He who is filled with love to the overflowing is filled with God Himself, and miracles abound in his path."
-- St. Augustine
"Spirit-filled souls are ablaze for God. They love with a love that glows. They serve with a faith that kindles. They serve with a devotion that consumes. They rejoice with a joy that radiates and connects. Love is perfected in this fierce fire of God."
-- Samuel Chadwick
"The Spirit-filled life is not a special, deluxe edition of Christianity. It is part and parcel of the total plan of God for all of His people. There is nothing about the Holy Spirit that is queer or strange or eerie, even thought it leaves a trail of miracles and mystery and too many beautiful stories to count or recall."
-- A.W. Tozer
This was my day yesterday - sheer delight and too many miraculous events to recount, bursting with love and His Spirit all over the place - in fact, a heart consumed with love - divine appointments popping up everywhere, no real need to make anything happen, barely able to keep up with God's hilarious handiwork. To think this life is truly possible for all, to Know it in my bones, to walk into a new world arm in arm with a growing throng, to clearly see the dying off of the old world of chaos, competition, fear, and such paralyzing guardedness, and be part of its final conflagration - one conversation at a time, one heart at a time, one marriage at a time, one family at a time, in such intimate embrace. What an outrageous life this is! Thank You, God, for the most amazing ride ever!
