Warm air is full of moisture. On a still clear night the earth cools. When the warmer air encounters the cooler object, tiny water droplets condense and form on the blade of grass. The water in the air is invisible. In the dew, it becomes visible. How is the “dewfall” a metaphor for the action of the Holy Spirit? When the warmth of the invisible Spirit encounters the “cold” created things of earth, suddenly grace and presence appear out of nowhere. Warmth encounters cold. The invisible becomes visible. Yet the Holy Spirit is far more than just physics. The Holy Spirit is the warmth of God at work, always doing something. The Holy Spirit is a personal presence: The Holy Spirit is God here, now, with us at all times and in all places. Let us rejoice! 2021 LPi

You can still stay close to your friend by talking on the phone, writing letters, or sending email messages. Jesus knew he would be leaving. He would not see his friends every day. Jesus promised to send his Spirit to them. When they were confused, the Spirit would show them the truth. When they missed him, Jesus would send them messages by the Holy Spirit. Through the Spirit, Jesus could always stay close to his friends. Prayer God, thank you for sending your Spirit so I can stay close to Jesus, too.
