Week 1: Day 4

Today’s Scripture:     Romans 5:5 “…God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit whom he has given us”

Spiritual Exercise      I love this verse. St Paul describes one of the key activities of the Holy Spirit which is to ‘pour out’ God’s love into our hearts. God’s love, which is so immense, so beautiful, so rich, beneficial, so life giving;  ‘Poured out’, generous libations of God’s kindness and goodness poured out into ‘our hearts’ not our brains, but our hearts. Jesus says we are to Ask, Seek and Knock, to keep on asking, again and again and again for the gift of God, the Holy Spirit, who ‘pours out his love into our hearts’ (Luke 11:9-13)

                                      I think we know it if God is pouring out his love into your hearts. If he isn’t then lets ASK! Let’s do that today. In the busyness of our day when we have a moments pause or hesitation lets pray inwardly “Dear Father, pour out your love into my heart through the Holy Spirit whom you have given!”
