A Blessing to Receive the Holy Spirit

I bless you to receive
A fresh infilling of the Spirit.

“Receive the Holy Spirit,”
Jesus told His disciples. (John 20:22)

Receive.

Not obtain.
Not earn.
Not purchase.

Receive.

Not grab.
Not snag.
Not snatch.

Receive.

Not drum up.
Not pull down.
Not dig out.

Receive.

Like lungs receive air.
Like bellies receive food.
Like hearts receive love.

Receive, child of God,
Receive the Holy Spirit.
