Wind/Spirit

(Note:  I hope you found yesterday's slice...scroll far down and you'll find it)

Nicodemus comes to Jesus by night to seek further information for his personal search for his identity
He must have been surprised when Jesus turned the conversation to being born, born from above and born of "water and the Spirit."  Was Nicodemus able to understand?  Are we?  Jesus likened this new- born life to the wind which blows unpredictably where it wills.  If we are to live, we need to detach ourselves, free ourselves to accept the unexpected that barges into our routine or scheduled day.  Like the wind, we need to be able to respond to requests or circumstances that might draw us far afield from our "normal" course.  It gives us the freedom to react as God would have us react and grow as he would have us grow.  Holy Spirit, free me to ride the windy currents you blow into my life.
