The promise of the Holy Spirit was a promise of something better, and yet Jesus’ followers mourned, because they didn’t understand. How often does God try to do something wonderful in our lives, but we resist and mourn, because it isn’t what we wanted or asked for? The Holy Spirit was given so that we would never lose our intimate connection with God in the midst of our confusing and broken world. So stop and breathe — let’s wait to sense God’s Holy Spirit speaking to our hearts and leading us toward Him.
