A Wild Religious Post Has Appeared!

I had a wonderful lesson today.

Maybe because it was only fifteen minutes long.

I always thought that the Holy Ghost was kinda third wheelin' it up there in the Godhead. Like, I knew he was important and necessary and such, but it was like "God and Jesus are the best and oh yeah Holy Ghost descended like a dove whoopee moving on."

But today, I learned that he made one of the ultimate sacrifices. He gave up his ability to have a body and live in this beautiful world so that we could have someone to help and comfort us in this frightening world.

In my head, I see Christ and Lucifer duking it out over the Plan and everyone's focused on them except this one gallant young man who walks up to the Father and says, "I am not strong enough or worthy to save the world, but I'd like to help, if I possibly could." And then he whispers a suggestion into God's ear, who looks a little shocked, and asks if he realizes what that means. The most precious spirit holds his head high and says yes, puffing his chest out and clenching his fists in fear, but all the more determined. God just nods and hugs him. The Spirit and the Father then watched Jesus win the War in Heaven, and the one Spirit watched everyone else get a body, a gift treasured above all, with a smile on his face. Sure, he had given it up, but to Him, and to all of us, it was worth it.

I am not C.S. Lewis. I did not know that was gonna come out^^

But seriously, what an amazing child of God.
