spirit

God. Jesus. Holy Spirit. The Trinity. I love God. Jesus is my friend. But honestly, Spirit is the one I feel closest to most of the time. How could you not? Jesus repeatedly said, hey ya’ll I’m leaving…but I’m leaving something behind for you. And it will be something that is so fluid, yet transparent … Continue reading spirit
