The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.

John 3:8 NASB

What moves you?

I mean … moves you to action …  compels you to do something.

Anger? Injustice? Anger can motivate.

But is that the right way?

What about loving-kindness … compassion … trust? God’s loving-kindness can motivate.

God is love (1 John 4:16 NLT).

This way … God’s way … is the right way.

Jesus answered …

“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 

That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Do not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ 

The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit (John 3:5-8 NASB).

Jesus is giving you the secret … for God to move you.

His Spirit will move you … where God wishes.

To hear His Spirit, you have to be born of His Spirit.

Because His Spirit speaks to you in the quiet.

In the quiet of your heart, you hear Him. Then He moves you … compels you to go … and do.

Ask His Spirit to move you in those quiet moments.

He will move you to tell another about Him … trust where He moves you.

Father, You are showing me in Your Word how you move me to follow Your will for me. It is by Your Spirit. Help me hear You today. In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.
