Dunked and Drenched
To be dunked and drenched by the spirit! To be soaked head to toe by the Spirit! To weigh a few more pounds because I am soaking wet with something fresh and sweet. It makes me think about the kids jumping off the roof of the houseboat 2 weeks ago. Once they commit to jumping off the roof there is nothing they can do to stop themselves from getting absolutely dunked and drenched by the Delta. I want the Spirit of God to be like that in my life. I have committed my life to Jesus and His response to me is to dunk and drench me with His love and Spirit. I too often quench the work of the Spirit in my life due to being critical, judgmental, prideful, and fearful. Father forgive me, create in me a clean heart and renew a right Spirit within me.

Thanks Reid for the visual image! I so appreciate the reminder that we are not filled with the Spirit once only, but that He continues to fill us and equip us. I am humbled that despite my failings He continues to pour His love and power into me. Amazing! I have so enjoyed interacting with the kids, while trusting God to change hearts. God give me a love for the students that only comes from you.
ReplyDeleteI love that "jumping off the roof" analogy...right before you leap you are scared and excited at the same time. Just like when you fully commit to Jesus you know it is not going to kill you but that's about it...and it's exhilarating!
