Lean Into It

When the wind blows

you cannot see it,

only the effects of it.

When the wind blows hard

you can surely feel it,

but cannot change it.

To stand up straight and true,

like God wants us to

you must lean into It.*

God’s Spirit lives deep

within every believer,

silently working there.

His Spirit is like the wind

you cannot see it,

only its effects so fair.

And where His Spirit thrives

are men whose leaning

bares fruit so rare.

John 3

Galatians 5:16-26

able to walk upright in a strong wind,

able to make a sharp turn skiing,

able to ride out an ocean wave,

able to hit a baseball pitch

*evidence ‘leaning into’ the Holy Spirit:

godly love, joy, peace, patience,

kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
