“He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.”  John 20:22 NKJV

Isn’t that the most beautiful verse?  Think about it, having the Holy Spirit breath upon you.  I have sailed on the Chesapeake Bay and it is the most amazing thing to feel that gentle breeze of a quiet Summer evening, blow across your face as the sun sets.  This is how I imagine God breathing the Holy Spirit into the human soul.

I have had times in my life when I  felt  the Holy Spirit actually come upon me that gently.   The peace that can overcome you at that precise moment when you feel that you are right with God and the world that he has placed you in.  When my children were born, that was one of those times when i knew God had placed them in my arms as a stewardship to fulfill  His purposes.

I have sailed upon those waters of peace and I have been privileged enough to weep at the overpowering spirit that can come upon you at those times in your life.  God has blessed me and I have rested in His arms.  There is no other peace as fulfilling as that divine peace from the Father.  He longs to give you that rest, that grace, that peace.  If you beckon unto Him you too can have that experience and bask in the Heavenly peace that only He can give.
