The Spirit Will Guide You

John 16:13

Jesus said, “The Spirit will guide you into all truth”

The Spirit will guide you into all truth
The Spirit will guide you into all truth
The Spirit will guide you into all truth
The Spirit will guide you.

The Spirit will guide me.
The Holy Spirit of God
The Spirit whom resides in all of creation.
The Spirit which resides in me.
The Spirit of Love.

The Spirit with the still, small voice.
The whisper in the breeze - rustling winter leaves
The soothing voice of waves rolling upon the shore, cleansing, softening, renewing
The “Hello!” in the gray branches swaying in the cold wind.
The cleanse of the undulating cover of purest, whitest snow
Lying within the trees.
The gift of warmth shining through the glass
Touching my soul

The Spirit will guide you to truth.
I must only slow to hear, to see, to sense, to know
 The nudges of a most gentle, loving guide.

I must pause and listen, see freshly, deeply
That which is around me – here and now
I must breathe away the distractions, angst, distrust, disbelief
Open slowly, with anticipation,
 Maybe to just rest.
To cocoon until it is time to leave chrysalis and fly.
For now, to rest and recover
Pause
Pause and Pray
Pray for peace in my soul
Peace in your soul
Peace in our world.
