The Holy Spirit makes us
grow
In the fields patches of green are appearing, new patches on an old garment. But, given time, spring will weave a completely new garment.
Yet Spring is only a facilitator. It doesn’t make anything happen. It merely creates the climate in which things can grow.
We too need to grow, to grow as human beings and children of God. But growth is slow and painful. We do not easily let go of the old garment, woven out of old habits and attitudes.
But we have been given a wonderful Facilitator, namely, the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit awakens us to the mysterious power within us, bids us live, and helps us grow.
Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on us.
