John 3

First off I must say I am loving life lately. I can see everything with a more joyful heart and I am trying not to get frustrated as much. I am letting go of things I can not control and I am trying to love life more.

Key verse: John 3:8, “The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

Reflection: I love just listening to to sound of the wind and I love when the wind just brushes my face. I always feel like God is wrapping His arms around me and running His fingers through my hair. The wind is very much like God in a way it is very powerful, but can be very gentle. A strong powerful wind can cause a tree to fall over or a car to drift while driving, but the same wind can just brush through the grass and tickle someone’s hairs on the backs of their necks. The wind is a beautiful reminder that God is a strong powerful yet gentle and kind God. I like to be reminded that everyday when I mess up. There is also something that puzzles me about this verse. It says that anyone who is born of the Spirit is also like this. Does that mean that we are suppose to be like the wind? Go places and be unnoticed, but still let people know someone was there. Should we leave people questioning about who it was and why we were like that? If anyone can clearly explain that would be lovely.

Prayer: God I am not sure what I should be praying. You know my heart Lord. I wish I was more like the wind though. I wish I could be as quiet as a whisper, but as strong as you want me to be Lord. I pray that whoever reads this will understand it more clearly than I did. :D Amen. Have a good week.
