Dear Holy Spirit, It’s hard to believe
But sadly we just met
I haven’t been ignoring or quenching you on purpose
A deeper understanding of you is all I long to get
Your mysterious,
Even with all my research
I know so little of your role in the Godhead
Would you share your wisdom with me?
I cannot lie, I’m way too curious
The Church doesn’t speak much of you
I would know, I’ve lived there my whole life
Some would say you’ve been forgotten
I think they’re scared to admit
How far away from you we’ve all gotten
What do you do?
Holy Spirit how can we walk hand in hand?
As a matter of fact, who are you?
I hate all this small talk,
I want to know you and understand your character
Can you help me move pass this awkward barrier?
We must start somewhere, I am alright with that
Would you share what you can with me?
I know and understand I’m only human
So please, Holy Spirit, tread lightly
Dear Mitchell, I am all-knowing, I am all-powerful,
And I am everywhere at all time
That’s a good way to begin
If you can comprehend all that with your little human mind
I love that you’ve reached out to me
This conversation is one in which
We can start up and pause at will
I want you to know that I’m honestly quite laid back and chill
Humans have many fears and doubts
That fill up a majority of their time
As the Spirit of the almighty and living God
I am always working on behalf of you and all of Adam’s line
I will have you know that
Between you and I
My passion for intimacy with you
Has been growing oh so much over all this time
We have so much to catch up on
I know you have many questions
so please, fire away
As soon as we’re done with this conversation
I do hope you and I will go out together and play
Dear Holy Spirit, wow, okay, where do I start?
First off, are you actually right here, in my heart?
Wait, that’s a childish question
I’m sorry, I’ll grow up
How can I walk with you?
As the living water would you come and overflow my cup?
I’ve read that you empower us
Whenever we need you to flow
You are the giver of spiritual gifts and miracles
But sadly, that’s as far as I know
Wait, have you given me a gift?
If so, what is it?
How can I use it for The Father’s glory?
And not for any power, fame for my name, or earthly riches.
I’ve heard some crazy stories
Of sons and daughters being more charismatic than usual
Was that actually you’re doing?
Or have we all been made the subject of someone else’s fooling?
You’re honestly quite confusing Spirit
I will always be straight-forward with you
You already live inside of me
What’s the use of creating an atmosphere of no authenticity?
Dear Mitchell, Like I said I’m everywhere that includes inside of your heart
Please ask all your childish questions, don’t let your soul grow too old
I will always overflow your cup
So much more than you’ve ever been told
I am the one who gives gifts
This much is so true
When something amazing or unbelievable occurs
You can bet at the center of it all was The Father and I clearly in view
Have I given you a spiritual gift?
Well yes of course
As for what it is
Mitchell, You’ve been blessed with the gift of discourse
But what does that mean?
Well I’m glad you asked
Mitchell, you love to teach
and shepherd His flock
A big part of that role will greatly involve your speech
You’ve got a long way to go bud
Lean on the Father and listen to my lead
When your feet hit the ground
You’ll notice that together we will begin to gain amazing speed
There are sadly many who mimic my power
Please use discernment wherever you go
Ask the Father for spiritual wisdom
In case you need to be reminded
In that request, His answer will never be no
Dear Holy Spirit, I want to thank you for this gift
Your time, your wisdom, your blessings you give
I intend to use this gift for God’s glory
Please lead me and teach me how to use it most effective
Please use me in any way you choose
This broken vessel is open for business
Empower me, speak your words, let God’s glory be made clear
Every moment from here on out,
I will listen closely for your whisper in my ear
Thank you all for answering my questions
I’m sure we’re not done
I personally am quite young
My life altogether has practically just begun
I do ask you all to be very patient with me
I mess up terribly most days
My thoughts, deeds, and words don’t always magnify
Your name in the most amazing ways
I know you all love me
You all won’t let me forget that
And I will never walk out of your sight
And because I know this and many other truths’ you’ve all told me,
I will sleep fantastically tonight.
Dear Mitchell, I’ve cherished this time with you
As you walk with me every feat will be great
We’re going to do some crazy things together
Man, I don’t know about you
But I can’t wait.
Dear friend, I wanted to say this before we parted
You have tremendous faith
Don’t lose sight of that
We’re all here fighting on your side
All you need to do is simply abide
Dear son, I’m glad you sought us all out to talk
Now I urge you
Go out into the world
And live a radical life in which others will surely mock
Like The Son said we’re always before you and behind
Fully rely on us as you go up
this mountain we call life,
that you’ve just now begun to climb
Continue this dialog
Until there’s no breath within you
Walk with boldness
Share the Gospel
And love all that you cross paths with
That’s all I’ve ordered you to do.
We’re always watching you here from above
And in case you somehow forget, by all three of us
You are beautifully and recklessly loved.
