A SPECIAL INTIMACY


A SPECIAL INTIMACY


"For those who love Christ and keep his word, there is a special intimacy of love given by the Father. 

And the Father and the Son draw close with unusual fullness and sweetness. And they do so by the Spirit. 

If anyone keeps God’s word — holds fast to it as a treasure, in obedience — he will not quench the Spirit, or grieve the Spirit, but will know the fullness and sweetness of fellowship with the Father and the Son by the Spirit." John Piper

Although I do not agree with absolutely everything John Piper believes, I have recently been led repeatedly to his writings on the Holy Spirit.

His writings seem so sensitive to the Holy Spirit--and that speaks to me.

The above passage written by Him held an especially precious meaning to me as I was reading and studying about the Holy Spirit.

I wanted to share it with you.  Here is the link to the full article.

I pray you will glean at least one small morsel of understanding or wisdom from these words and choose to meditate on God's Word.

That is my goal from reading this article--to meditate MORE on God's Word and obey what I feel in my spirit that it is saying to me--really, that He is saying to me.

God, work through me and help me--I can do nothing without YOU.
