Romans 15:13

Romans 15:13

 I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.

To truly be able to completely feel joy and peace in the Holy Spirit is an absolutely amazing gift! It's indescribeable just how exactly it feels. Almost as if your spirit is floating within your physical body. If it were helium you'd surely be flying through the air! If you have never experienced that feeling... oh how I feel sorry for you... because it's the most amazing feeling.
Your world can be literally crashing down around you. All of your enemies can be attacking you. You can be broke, no money to pay the bills. Be given some horrible medical news. Your vehicle could break down. Your siblings could be verbally attacking you for no reason. Your body could be aching with pains. Your children could be stressed out with nothing you can do to help.  And the list goes on... but none... Absolutely NONE of that stuff can matter! It's all just... life and it's circumstances... and in the end... it doesn't matter. It may seem perplexing to some of you to think that so much could be 'wrong' in someones' life and yet... they can have such peace of spirit through the Holy Spirit that their life circumstances don't even effect them.
Perplexing?... maybe... or maybe not...  to those of you that have experience with the Holy Spirit living in you, it's not that hard to figure out. But to those of you that don't... it may seem like a lie.

It's not. It's the truth, and I know because that's me. I'm living it. Total and complete peace of spirit! Amidst some less than ideal life circumstances. There's actually more to that list... I just didn't name them all.

Life IS truly entirely ALL in how you see it. HOW you choose to view it. It's ALL a matter of perspective.
My perspective is... it could always be worse! Be thankful always for what I have! My glass is ALWAYS full to over flowing!... It just is!... There is NO glass half full. A glass half full to me is someone who isn't truly thankful just simply because they are alive and breathing.
With a grateful heart... your glass is always full.

With the Holy Spirit living in you... total and complete peace of your spirit IS possible...everyday... all day... no matter what life tosses your way.

If you haven't experienced that kind of deep peace... I pray that you will seek God and ask Him to open the eyes of your heart so that you can truly know His goodness. His unconditional love for you.
Because once you have a small grasp as to His love for you, because we as humans can never truly comprehend His love. Our brains just can't wrap themselves around it. But when we have our human understanding...then you can experience the Peace of spirit. Seek God with all your heart... you'll find the peace.
