FREEDOM

Have you ever seen someone so free that their face literally shines? So free that their eyes brim with bright light? So free that a rosy glow emanates from their cheeks?

How about someone so free that you can see the fear that encased them shatter into a million pieces like a wine glass that has been dropped and broken? Have you seen someone so free that every step they take is lighter than the one before; almost as if the sole of their foot will soon depart with this earth and float off on a cloud?

Have you ever seen someone so free that their eyes glisten with unshed tears as they share how they have finally heard the long awaited voice of their Shepherd; their Creator as He whispered words on a soft breeze that stirred up the distant longings of their spirit?

How about seeing someone receive the love of the Holy Spirit as He blasts like a lightning bolt through their body and blows open the long dammed-up River of Life contained within them?

Have you ever seen someone that free??

I have.

She came to me tonight and shared how amazing her Jesus is to her and how thankful she is that she finally heard His precious voice. She is a beautiful German girl that I have been discipling for the past 11 weeks who now bears the mark of the touch of our beautiful friend, comforter, and counselor, Holy Spirit.

This, my friends, is the reason Benjie and I do what we do. To see a person come alive as if they had been sleeping their whole life up until this point. To see a person take wings on the wind of the Father's love and ride unabashed and free in the wild blue yonder that they couldn't have even imagined before.

The Holy Spirit is SO worth it. Have you taken a chance on Him?
