The Cooling Stream

Jesus compared the mystery of the new birth to a breeze (John 3:8).

Jesus told Nicodemus that just as the wind could be felt and measured, and the effects of it could be seen, where it came from and where it went to remained a mystery.

We cannot see God do His work in a heart.

But we can see the effects of the Spirit in a life!

When we see a wicked and hateful man turns into a sweet, loving, and holy saint, we know the Spirit has been working in his soul.

We do not see how it happens.

But we can see the effect of the power of God in the human heart.

*******

The wind of the Spirit was blowing in the soul of Nicodemus.

But he could not control that wind.

And it might be gone in an instant, never to return.

The time for Nicodemus to heed God’s call was when the wind was moving in his heart.

*******

If the wind of the Spirit is blowing in our soul, the time to be saved is now!

Remember, God will not always deal with us (Gen. 6:3).

We must come to Him when He is near and calling (Isa. 55:6; 2 Cor. 6:2).

We can come to him only when He is calling us (John 6:44).

If there is one important thing that we really lack, it is love.

Love is a wonderful feeling for ourselves and others.

I am surprised there are people around who claim they don't have love.

The fact that we occasionally look at the mirror means we love ourselves.

The fact that we wash our face, brush our teeth, comb our hair, shave and cut our moustache and beard, put on makeup, blow our nose..... mean we love our appearance.

The fact that we put on clean, ironed, stylish and appropriate clothing on every occasion mean we care about how people look at us and evaluate us.

And look at the way we enjoy our food and drink....

And look at the way we enjoy our environment and a high quality of life.

And look at the way we speak and behave....

Yes, we all love ourselves.

Even those who desire to kill themselves do so because they love themselves. Don't believe them when they claim they hate themselves because of their circumstances or situations, they just don't want to suffer anymore.

Therefore I do see the element of love in various degrees in everyone of us.

And no one should ever deny the fact that they do have love.

If only we love and know ourselves more, we would realize just how miserable and helpless is everyone of us.

And that's why the LORD God gives us family members, relatives, friends, neighbors, enemies and competitors...

Just how fulfilling and satisfying is our lives very much depend on how we express and propagate the magic of love among people around us.

Love is like a very cool breeze blowing on our face and surrounding us for a long long while, tickling, poking and teasing us to share and bring it to everyone around us.

Have love will travel...........seek love.......and......more love....
