here's that story beginning i said i was gonna post...
The Spirit Giver....i already gave a little bit of an explanation of it. i'm not going to post any of my notes, just what i've written of the story so far.
"The Father delights in breathing His Spirit into His waiting child as he fellowships with Him."
~Andrew Murray
Imagine a planet, if you will, where all of the people are dying. They are slowly but surely losing their lives; day after day, month after month, year after year--they wither away and turn to dust. They know not why they are dying; in fact, they they cannot even see that they die at all. Until one day, a man from another planet visits and reveals to them the source of death. It is their spirits; their spirits are shrivelling up and becoming inane. they are losing their life force, their very being, from within, and there seems to be no solution. This visitor tries to
explain to them that there is a solution, if only they will stop holding on to their own spirits so tightly, if only they will be willing to give them up. but the people keep grasping. they hold onto their dying lives with such a fierce strength that it smothers them more quickly than before. and so the visitor leaves in sadness, even as the people chase him away, threatening to kill him. Little did they know that this visitor was the only one who could save them from theirselves.
