Description
As I began reading chapter 20 of the book of John the other morning, the Spirit began to minister to my heart in a marvelous way. I was feeling physically and emotionally overwhelmed by the responsibilities of life. I felt like I had no energy left to face another day. I needed my Spirit to be restored. I needed new life to be pumped into my veins...
All of a sudden Jesus began speaking to my heart through the Spirit as I read John 20... "You may cling to me now My child, because I have already ascended to My Father and your Father. I have already ascended to My God and your God. I give you My peace, My child! As the Father sent Me, I am also sending you...
"You've already received the Holy Spirit... So don't be unbelieving, because you feel drained and tired, but believe! I am speaking these words to you now so that you may believe that I am the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in My name!"
My face was bathed in sweet tears of relief as I felt the overwhelming presence of God envelop me like a warm blanket. Suddenly I remembered this impressionistic watercolor painting of a bird I had created recently, and it seemed to be the perfect picture to describe how His resurrection life began to pump through my tired veins bringing joy and anticipation! I could face this new day because I have life in His name!♥
