In this divine communion, we find joy in our relationship with the Comforter—who is the source of all divine pleasure—and in doing so, we are lifted into eternity, where all these divine joys and pleasures have their full and abundant expression. These divine beings, the angels and saints, have a victorious crown—an emblem of their triumph—in experiencing this divine reality. Their crown is the reward of having fully embraced the divine experience of joy, glory, and eternal communion with God. If our trials and sufferings have been so intense and profound, what measure do we use to gauge their impact? Do we find comfort in some earthly measure or standard? Joy itself is like a divine dew—precious and rare—and it’s a deeply personal, intimate experience. I know there is no greater encounter than being touched by that continuous flow of divine bliss. How can we possibly feel that all our past experiences are just illusions or fleeting shadows when, in truth, eternity is unfolding before us—a continuous, growing experience that surpasses all sorrow and pain? It seems as if the Holy Spirit, the Sweet Spirit, pours Himself out upon us, and in that divine outpouring, time itself becomes still—a moment when eternity takes over, and all of life’s temporal concerns fade into nothingness for a time. Some of us have been so overwhelmed by the power and presence of the Holy Spirit that we’ve been flooded with His sacred, divine inflow—so much so that joy, wonder, and a sense of divine glory pour into us in abundance. The Spirit touches the very fabric of eternity—a divine mechanism within us that calls forth all the memories of His past sweet visitations, His sacred interventions, and His divine encounters. When the Spirit ignites the universe with His radiance, it shines with such brilliance that it seems as though He outshines even the sun itself. Yet, if it weren’t for the profound sense of His presence within us—His indwelling—one might think that this divine light and glory are coming from some external source. But the truth is, He causes us to rejoice and to see more clearly than we ever have before, opening our spiritual eyes to a deeper understanding of divine reality. Oh, Holy Spirit, please come and fill this place with Your glorious presence!
