THE HOLY SPIRIT: A DOVE

 

And immediately, coming up from the water, He (Jesus) saw the heavens parting

and the Spirit descending upon Him like a dove.

Mark 1:10

 

The Holy Spirit is like a Dove who comes to rest gently on you this day, just as He rested on

Jesus at His baptism. He is a Dove to light gently upon you to take away your anxieties. He is a Dove to give you peace. But, it’s not just the feeling of peace you need; you need the Holy Spirit, for He is Peace. Remember the promise of Jesus, “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you” (John 14:27). When Jesus sends peace, the Holy Spirit delivers it. When the Holy Spirit comes into your life, receive His gentle presence as a Dove gently coming to rest on you.

 

O holy Dove, gently rest upon me to give peace at the center of my storm.

Settle my emotions, become the controlling peace to every area of my life.

Be a Dove to bring gentleness to my soul. I yield my feelings to You.”

 

The Third Person of the Trinity is like a Dove, lighting upon you so carefully that you won’t even feel it until you experience His peace in your life. He is like a Dove; He does not always come with violent manifestations or emotional outbursts. Sometimes He comes with a quiet voice and a whispered conversation. Be still; get quiet; and wait for Him.

 

Holy Spirit, I receive You as a gentle Dove. Guide me to be gentle with

my words and gentle with my actions. Transform me to be like You.

Amen.

 

Reading: Luke 3:21-22; John 1:25-33; 14

Key Thought: The Holy Spirit comes to make you gentle.
