I always look at the Holy Spirit
as a type of instigator, always moving, always challenging, one who doesn’t sit
still. He is there to challenge us to get out of our comfort zone and do something
different, something more demanding. We all love our favorite couch or chair or
sofa, where we can sit and watch TV, read our newspapers or just relax and doze
off for a few minutes. But when someone else takes our place, we feel irritable
and uncomfortable. We feel out of place and yet we get determined to do
something different, something more than the basics. That’s what the role of
the Holy Spirit is like – he never stops instigating and motivating and asking
for more. He doesn’t like it when we are complacent and careless about our
duties and wants us to be on guard on what is required of us. He is that inner
voice that says to us ‘you can do better, you can do more, you can improve on
those efforts.....’ So let us listen to Him and do more than the basics. Let us
not be afraid to change our attitude, our perspective of what life has in store
for us in the future. Come Holy Spirit, come into our lives, into our families,
come into our homes and inspire us to do a little more.
