Filled

What is filling your life? What is inside you that is creating feelings of worry, anger, frustration or feelings of peace, hope, and love? Imagine a container inside of you - what is it holding? What is it filled with?

Oh! May the God of green hope fill you up with joy, fill you up with peace, so that your believing lives, filled with the life-giving energy of the Holy Spirit, will brim over with hope!
Romans 15:13
Imagine this container with a lit candle inside. This lit candle respresents the Holy spirit within you. Imagine that no matter what goes before you - worries, concerns, fears, circumstances - this candle flame is never allowed to go out. This flame of the Holy Spirit respresents peace, hope, and life giving energy. So when a circumstance comes to you that you would normally allow to be the breeze that blows out the candle flame, it does not go out. You allow it to remain lit and burning, allowing it to give you life, energy, peace and hope in the mist of the circumstance that you face. This does not mean that you walk around with some facade of happiness, but rather a real inner peace and joy that cannot be taken away by what is going around you. This is when you will brim over with hope despite the circumstances. This flame is the Holy Spirit inside you that is never allowed to leave, to go out. This flame represents the energy that you need to face things and never give up. This flame represents your unwavering faith and confidence in God. Be filled with God's energy today - peace and hope.
Namaste'
