Sometime back I had posted an analogy of heat and wind representing the troubles and the consolation of the holy spirit in our lives. http://jydiscovery.blogspot.com/2008/09/wind-heat-package.html .But that was summer then and now winter adds some more thoughts to it.
I have been thinking(&experiencing) after the post: Isn't it possible that I may not always receive the cooling and comforting wind in my heated situations of life? If so Why? I have felt many times its not in my hands to open the windows to let the spirit in eventhough i would like to.
As the winter is getting tough now I find that its not possible to open the windows because of the freezing cold wind .Infact the closed windows with the sunlight shining inside and the cool breeze staying outside helps the indoors to be warmer.
Isn't it the reason why many times God withholds the consolation of the Holy spirit from us temporarily? To warm up our indoors? -the indoors of our hearts which have become cold and tepid with the comforts of the world.
So in moments where it seems that the master of the house has closed the windows of the cool breeze isn't it possible that He has closed it with a purpose? - a reminder for me to warm up -warm up to my first love. (Rev Ch 1)

Wow! Joe chetta. Such a wonderful analogy!
:-) I love your thoughts

so we are like clay in the potter's hands...ya ,He can shut the consolation window when we get too comfortable:)really its tough for me to say in those times " behold the handmaid of the Lord."
