the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot accept, because it does not see him or know him. But you know him, because he resides with you and will be in you. -- John 14:17
The world cannot accept him, because it does not see or know him. This means to recognize him, I need to wait until I see him. Like a sculptor looking at a piece of stone and visualizing the statue inside that no one sees, have I stopped to consider my situation until I see the Spirit of truth. The reality of God at the center of everything at all times. Then I no longer see a blank page, but something like a backwards coloring book with the colors already there just waiting for me to outline the shapes of.
Prayer: Holy Spirit, help me to see you today. I want to know you. Reside with me. Be in me. Forgive me for when I have not acknowledged you. Help me see the Spirit of truth that hovers above the surface of the waters of my life, so I can rest in and speak to my storms with authority.
