Texting with the Holy Spirit... Today at church I thought of this idea because I recently came out of a texting addiction. I keep going to all these church service type things where they keep talking about the Holy Spirit and how his presence is with us and we do everything with him and we can talk to him, and I think sometimes I forget it because I often feel alone and like I have no one to talk to. So I get addicted to Facebook or texting with a certain person when what I really should be doing is talking to God all day, so I started thinking maybe I could do it in a more tangible way, like I thought I could start "texting" the Holy Spirit on my phone for real. I mean I don't have an actual phone number for the Holy Spirit (obviously), but I started writing in the notes section of my phone as if I were texting. And the cool thing about texting the Holy Spirit is I can really tell him everything - everything I'm thinking and feeling and I don't have to worry about the relationship ending or him not caring or using something against me, it's pretty cool. Course it only really works if I really believe the Holy Spirit exists, but I think I'm starting to. And it's definitely easier to give up these other addictions when I have a good thing to replace them with, rather than just "trying not to text" or whatever. So there you go! This is my new idea - texting with the HS. Try it. Let me know how it goes.
John 14:15-17 - "If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever - the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him, but you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you."
2 Corinthians 13:14 - "May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all."
