Barincles are simply barriers to living a life of freedom and joy. We were made to commune with God all mighty. Our souls, much like creation, yearns for a day when we will be with Him and be in his presence. Until then, we have the gift of the Holy Spirit. Jesus promised his disciples and those that came after him, a powerful replacement, a paraclete, a substitute for himself. We need to make sure that we live in such a way that we listen, respond, and respect this gift that was given to us upon the time of our salvation.
In Paul's letter to the Ephesians he talks about grieving the Spirit of God that is in us.(Ephesians 4:30) He talks about sin that creeps in and creates a wedge between us and the joy of our salvation. Lets make sure that we do not allow ourselves to become so proud that we do not need God to help us through our daily tasks. Lets make sure that we do not allow our ego's to get in the way of our joy. The Holy Spirit of God, the inner light, is there to lead us, guide us, commune with us, and enlighten us to the truth of God.
Prayer: Lord, I do sense when your Spirit is grieved. I do sense when my pride and my ego gets in the way of having a true relationship with you. Blessed be your name oh Lord, Blessed be your name!
