But he who joins himself with the Lord is one spirit with him.
--1 Corinthians 6:17
My spirit is now as much one with His Spirit as my spirit is one with itself.
And His Spirit is now as much one with my spirit as His Spirit is one with
Himself. His Spirit now lives in me as literally as I live in myself, and my
spirit lives in Him as literally as He lives in Himself. One is just as real
and true and actual fact as the other. Therefore, for me to ever again ask
Jesus to "be with me" or invite His Holy Spirit into my presence would be
like me asking my own self to "be with me" or even for Christ to ask
Himself to come into His own presence. His Spirit and my spirit are now
one spirit, and one can never come any closer to himself than he already
is.--Chip Kirk
The Spirit of God is like our breath. God's spirit is more intimate to us than
we are to ourselves.--Henri Nouwen
It is not what you have that makes the difference in your life, but what you
know that you have. The difference between the two is life changing.--Chip
