Holy Spirit of Jesus, help me know you above all…

 
John 3:31-36

 
The world with all of its masters, mindsets, and marvels seems to be the most important element of life.  It is easy to become mesmerized with local, national and international events on the one hand and the functioning of our bodies and households on the other.  But those who belong to the household of faith, arguably all the great artists, thinkers, and saints of the centuries in all cultures, know beyond a shadow of doubt that faith, hope, and love are not only essential to all life here on earth, but are ‘above’ all – and were, and are, incarnated in Christ Jesus. Because Christ Jesus, like he says twice in this passage of John’s gospel, is above all we can all ‘see’ him at any given time and know him present above and beyond the clouds of fear.  When I keep my heart, mind, soul and body focused on Christ, I am able to receive the Holy Spirit of God without measure, just as He did while alive here on earth.  Will I seek and find Christ Jesus, above all?  Holy Spirit of Jesus, help me know you above all.
 
 
I believe I shall see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.   (Psalm 27:13)
 
No prayer is ever lost.
