A Word from Holy Spirit

by Rev. Dan Strodl, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

Every morning when I wake up I pray and meditate, and then I ask Holy Spirit for a word. I never know what that word will be, but I’ve noticed that the word is exactly what I need for that day. Some words I’ve received are “Kindness, Trust, Peace, Love, Light, Open-mindedness, Patience.” This morning I received the word “Blessing”... and I had no idea how that word would be helpful in my day.

That afternoon I was walking down the street in London and I saw two policemen coming out of an apartment building. I was curious, and so I stopped and waited across the street to see what was going on. They were dressed in yellow luminescent jackets, and had guns and handcuffs. British police don’t usually carry guns, so this was something big.

Behind them came eight more uniformed policemen, and they surrounded a man in his mid 20s. He was wearing trousers with a drawing sewn into the legs, so I guessed it was a drug bust? Or it could be domestic violence? I hear that lots of people are forced to live with their partners 24/7 during the Coronavirus lockdown, and abuse is common. I stood there on the street and felt petrified. I was full of fear even though I was just a bystander. My ego thoughts had me locked in hell.

They escorted the man over to the police van, and as they crossed the road I remembered the word Holy Spirit gave me that morning… “Blessing.” So I sent blessings to the man. I blessed him in his peace, his comfort, his acceptance, his gentle awakening. And then remembered the policemen, and so I sent them blessings. I blessed them in their peace, their comfort, their gentleness, their light.

And as I stood there sending them blessings, I noticed that the fear and panic I had were gone. I was feeling relaxed, calm, loving. Holy Spirit gave me the perfect word that morning to lift me up from my nightmare thoughts, and bring me back to peace. Thank you Holy Spirit.
