Three Seconds

There are times when three seconds are vital. Vitals are important. Three seconds from life and death. Three seconds of air means oxygen. Three seconds of air is a deciding factor of how the rest of your life will play out. Three seconds to be present enough, to know you are enough.

Today's sermon was about humility. And that we need to read the Bible in orser to make our hearts receptive.

I thought that was a clever point made by the priest because no matter what type of spiritual life you have been through, I still feel seasoned. I still feel as if faith happened to me yesterday. There are many things I do not know and meanwhile that's good, I have always been the ine who has tried to be a person in the room to know as much as possible.

But learning a simple concept of allowing the Bible to open my heart, in order to be receptive, humbles me long enough to question my own spirituality. On one hand it is challenging me to look further, grow more, but on the other hand I am humbled to know, I will never know everything. And that's gold.

With Bible in one hand, and humility in another, I creative an environment in my heart, for the Holy Spirit to dwell long enough, so I don't blasphemy against her. The house of God, is dwelling within the roof of my heart.

May the Holy Spirit always feel welcomed, safe and home enough, that she knows, I am here to stay with her. That no matter how the fruit must grow, I stay consistently, I stay unconditionally, and I love unconditionally.

May the Holy Spirit not just know that. But may the Holy Spirit feel that, based on my life, actions and words. May the fruits of Holy Spirit, be constantly looked after by me, protected by me, and catered to, by me.

Three seconds seems like nothing. Daily, three seconds, adds up our days and lays down our weary mind each night. But in those three seconds we have a vital decision to decide. Am I going to add another three seconds of humilty or am subtract from it.
