Scripture: Psalm 25:14: The friendship of the LORD is for those who fear him, and he makes his covenant known to them. Abridged: To befriend the Spirit of God is to walk and talk in the power and light of all creation. Meditation: Making friends with the image of God within us is the most blessed and the most challenging relationship we can have. To befriend the Spirit of God is to walk and talk in the power and light of all creation. Like all friendships, this one will thrive only with frequent conversation, mutual care, and unconditional love, which are the hallmarks of all enduring relationships where both participants grow. When we unite our hearts with God, however, undoubtedly the larger benefit and blessing must be ours. A difficulty we may encounter as we walk and talk in this sacred friendship is that the power of God's light will expose in us even the slightest shadow in our soul that can be an obstacle to liberating our spirit as freely and powerfully as the Holy Spirit itself. In this struggle, there is a blessing as we come to understand that God desires a relationship with us despite our imperfection. When we feel the pain of our blemishes in God's perfect light, the compassionate mercy of God's friendship fills us with love and gratitude. Prayer: Blessed Creator, as we exhale the air of human arrogance, fill us with the wind of your Holy Spirit. Empty our mind and body of all false enlightenment so that there will be ample room for the beautiful light of your truth. Amen Enter password: .
