Words Can't Describe!

Hello Guys and Gals!

I would like to speak to you today about the feeling which I think is greater than all others. I'm not sure what to call it though. I believe that the bible refers to it as 'groanings'. Romans 8:26 states:

'26 In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words;'

Have you ever felt something inside of you that is so great that words cannot describe it? Whether it is joyful, painful, or just confusing; I believe that these are our groanings. This is when you have an emotion so deep and profound that words cannot express what you are truly feeling at that moment. I am sure that all of you have felt this way at one time or another.

I have these groanings occasionally and I'm here to tell you that when I focus in on them, there is only One who can bring comfort to me at those times, Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit!

But whenever you enter a time like this, please know that God is there waiting to help you and that the Holy Spirit, which has been given to us by Jesus Christ, is there explaining and translating to God the Father our groanings, the desires and pains and loves and sorrows of our heart!

Romans 8:27-30 continues and states:

'27 and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
28 And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.
29 For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren;
30 and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified.'

We now know that, even when we cannot utter what it is we are feeling to God in prayer, and even when all we can do is exist in that moment because nothing else exists for us at that time, that God knows what we are feeling and that the Holy Spirit is actively translating at that very moment, what it is we are feeling and bringing God the Father's attention to us!

Be comforted in this! Even when our emotion is the guilt we feel at sinning, yet again, against God; even that emotion and pain and guilt is understood by God through the translation of the Holy Spirit!

What does this mean for us? This means that even in our worst of times and best of times and any time in between those times, the Holy Spirit is making sure that God knows what we are going through and God's attention is focused upon those who love Him!

I sincerely pray that God blesses each and every one of you this day!
