How big is He in you?

Mungkin banyak temen2 yg tau kalo I'm finishing my degree right now. Yup, no more courses and classes to take anymore; I'm just concentrating on my research paper and final piano recital. But i can tell you that I love to learn, study, to be challenged intellectualy; I adore knowledge and wisdom.. Even though there's no more courses for me to take at school, there's still a class that never cease to excite me whenever i attend it: my Adult Sunday School. This semester I chose the Basic Christian Theology Class. In this class, we are taught to remanage and review our our knowledge and understanding about our faith. Yup, heavy stuff: the doctrine of Creation, Man, the Father, Jesus Christ, Trinity, Sin, Salvation, etc.

Today we learn about the Holy Spirit (HS). How much do we really know about HS? Is HS a 'force' like many ppl thought? I learnt so much today. In class we learn about biblical truth and facts about HS: HS as a Being, a Person, identity, character, function, and works among the believers.

No question that it is a mystery for us; it's a complicated subject matter. But the Bible tells us sooooo much about this 3rd Person Trinity. Beyond comprehension! Honestly, I've never really understood why the last line of the hymn Holy, Holy, Holy states, "God in three PERSONS, blessed Trinity." I think i get a glimpse of its meaning through today's Sunday School material.

During the class i pondered... We, believers, have the concept that "yes, i know Heavenly Father is watching from above" but we so often forget that Emmanuel.. He is IN us! How often do we recognize, realize, and acknowledge that?? As 1 Corinthians states, our body is the temple of God when the Holy Spirit resides... how much do we care about this Person?

This morning I realize how careless and wasteful I am with my life, the time that He granted me to have, and how unclean I am with the deeds and thoughts. Kyrie Eleison... May the LORD have mercy! The lesson has not only challenged me intellectually this morning, but also spiritually. I need to be more careful with my life and my spiritual pursuit. Yes, He is IN me. I need to be more sensitive.

May the LORD help me!
