Just as the wind relentlessly flows
God’s spirit moves invisibly.
It can change all it touches
Into what we’re meant to be.
It’s through the life and death
Of Jesus long ago in history,
That His spirit now moves within
To cleanse and make us free.
What does that mean thereafter
As I choose Him for my days?
What can God’s Spirit accomplish
In a world where challenge lays?
It’s only Jesus who first changed
My heart, now cleansed by Him,
Then makes me His ambassador,
Who works invisibly as the wind.
I know a woman locked up inside
And locked inside a room.
She needs His touch deep in her heart
To banish pervasive gloom.
I sat with her this week,
We talked more than an hour,
Just a reconnection time
As I prayed silently for His power.
It was the first conversation
She’d had in many weeks,
The breeze rustled curtains gently
As if revealing how to speak.
It was my first visit to her space
That Christ’s Spirit will attend.
The wind will carve its unknown path
As her heart He slowly mends.
This is the Jesus some reject and mock
Going about His mission:
Touching all receptive souls,
Which becomes our Great Commission.
The highest, hardest thing that’s done
Is the change of a human being,
From lostness and from suffering
To the joy of Christ’s sweet freeing.
It is Jesus, only Jesus,
Whose mission is to save His own.
It is His salient feature
Defining why He left heaven’s home.
I picture this woman in my heart
Wind blowing her once-knotted hair,
And her now unlocked soul
Floating freely through the air.
“The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” (Psalm 34:18, NIV)
