DADIRRI - it has found me

Today I came across an article titled Dadirri by Miriam-Rose Ungunmerr-Baumann. There written down were my thoughts as if the author had looked down within the very depths of my soul and placed it on  paper. It captured the very substance of my understandings and experiences of God - His all consuming presence, the transcending presence of His Spirit and the living truth of God’s word in Jesus dwelling deep within. I feel God in the air I breathe, the land I walk on, the grass I touch, the wind in my hair, His presence going around me and through me. I feel Him on my skin, under my skin, and on the tips of my fingers. I hear His gentle voice deep within and without. I feel Him all around me, aware of this all consuming presence when I’m quiet and still and in the midst of His creation. How can you contain something so encompassing in a building made by human hands?

Then I saw what seemed to be the creation happening - God and His Spirit coming out from Him carrying His Word as He calls out things to existence. When we speak, we hear a sound. That sound is produced as the air carries it out of our mouth and the words we hear are formed. The word that comes out has a meaning, purpose and power. Words as we know describes, gives meaning to the invisible (our feelings and emotions), and is powerfully influential - it can hurt and it can bring people up just as good news makes us happy (Proverbs 25:25). The Holy Spirit is the air that carries the Word that is Jesus.

We are called the body of Christ. What connects us to each other is His Holy Spirit that is within.  God's Spirit calls to us but some ignores it, analyse it, and fights it. Others surrender to that gentle calling. The sound heard is the sound of Jesus knocking at the door of every heart. He wants us to connect with Him and with one another. His Spirit will eventually unite us in Him.

Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?  If I ascend into heavens, You are there;If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.  If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me". Psalm 139:7-10 KJV
