I feel I can barely glimpse the fullness of this statement, but today, it means to feel that Spirit/Love is alive, now, renewing itself, actively working in the spaces between us, in our communication, in our connection and community. It pulses through us, renewing our thoughts and our bodies. It allows us to see wonder and power in the moment. It entreats us to stay awake to the movings of Spirit - to not be blinded or distracted by schedules, rituals, or strongly held opinions or beliefs. Quench not the Spirit. Feel fullness. Play. Discover. Be healed.
First Thessalonians says, "Quench not the Spirit." The Amplified Bible expands the phrasing to "Do not quench [subdue, or be unresponsive to the working and guidance of] the [Holy] Spirit.
