Good morning, DearHeart.

Last night, out back, we watched a lone cloud that look like it was dancing from the inside out – full of lightening. It was intense, and there were stars in the clear sky around it.

Spectacular.

A powerful reminder of work of the Holy Spirit in us.

“So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.” 2 Corinthians 4:16 ESV

What do you do that makes you come to life? What is that thing you do that makes people take notice, look you in the eye, and say “thank you”?

There is something that you do that makes you feel useful and on fire – it is your gift of renewal flowing in to you from the direct and highly intentional touch of your Creator. Take notice.

Everyone is amazing at something — whether it’s being a computer programmer,

having a listening ear,

a cracker-jack number cruncher,

an encourager of dreams,

or planning a fantastic feast –

acknowledge the place where the Holy Spirit sets your genius, and you will find His inner-work going on there, renewing you.

Wake up.

Renew.

Yes, even you are a chosen one.

Go.
