just some thoughts

I was reading a book and had to write down some thoughts that I had about something the author said. Tell me what you think.

The author is describing the Holy Spirit, the third part of God.

"The Spirit is not a bully, but a Lover; and while the love pursues passionately, it will not intrude where it is not wanted; after all, if it did, it would cease to be love."

How interesting... it is like planting a garden, you have to let the seed grow on it's own. No matter how much you want the plant to grow, it has to do it by it's self. The help comes when the seed is open for water, fertilizer and food. This author is also talking about how the Spirit is like the wind, wild and crazy, unpredictable to some degree; yet a person can feel it. I am not sure i agree with this idea. Do we always have to feel the Holy Spirit? Can we live by faith that it is there? Just some thoughts, let me know what you think. Marie
