Dear Holy Spirit,
It's Pentecost and I want to write to say I love You. I know You're the same everyday and everywhere. But I want to honour and celebrate You today, and hopefully appreciate You more every other day.
You are the ultimate best friend. You are always here with me. You always have a kind word. You always encourage me and build me up. You even bless me with real peace and real joy. You are amazing!
You are so gracious and loving to me. You know all my thoughts and actions yet You stay with me. You correct me gently, You heal my brokenness and forgive my strife. You never give up on me. You fill me with joy and peace again.
You whisper bold ideas into my ear then You fill me with boldness to follow through. It's always exciting to think about You and recognise You in situations. There's nothing more fulfilling than getting the chance to partner with You in Your purpose. It's fun to flow and fly with You.
Thank You for inviting me to walk with You. What a blessing. It is the best walk of my life. Your kindness and You presence mean so much to me.
I love You so much!
Mark

Waiting for Pentecost
I wonder if the air was different. I wonder if it felt different when you were on your own - waking, thinking, walking. One thing is for sure - things changed very significantly on the day of Pentecost as recorded in Acts Chapter Two.
I hope in heaven that I get a chance to ask some that were there what it was like before and after. That day was a very significant shift in human history - the Holy Spirit was being poured out on all flesh - not just the few.
When the Holy Spirit was deposited in my life, when I was baptised with Him - I was completely changed. I felt new life, new desires and a new power to live His way. I never want to live without the Holy Spirit's love and power.
I'm determined this Pentecost (and my whole life for that matter) not to take the Holy Spirit for granted. I want to think about Him and desire Him - to acknowledge His presence and everything that He has done is doing for us.
I'm going to celebrate Pentecost this year be bringing the day in with a fire and a few mates in my backyard. I don't know what will happen but as we sit together I hope that we bring honour to Him as we share about what He has done for us. Any guys are welcome between 9pm and midnight.
I've decided to consider the Public Holiday on the Monday after Pentecost Sunday to be also in honour of the Holy Spirit - nice of the government to give us more time to celebrate.
How will you take some time to honour the Holy Spirit at Pentecost?
