Soaked

We have just been at a 2-day seminar named "Abba's Touch.

During the evening the speaker made this analogy about the holy spirit:

We need to wait upon the holy spirit, to give it time to sink into our heart, the same way you sink into a bath tub. You sit there not to be clean, just to be soaked by the lovely warm water.


I used another analogy some month back when I was telling my son that in order to really get to know God and feel what He has in stored for us, we need to spend time with him, to get soaked with his love.

I then used the analogy with a sponge and a blackboard. If you want to clean the blackboard you need a sponge. If you try to clean the blackboard with a totally dry sponge you won't succeed.

If you just dip the sponge into a bucket full of water, the sponge is not "wet" enough to do the job. You need the sponge to soak for some time, and only after that the sponge will do the job..

After I told my son this he said: I get it, but what's a blackboard!?

Puh, I think I'm getting old! *S*

Hey let's take time with God, let's get soaked, let our bodies sink into the bath tub or let the sponge really get the job done...
