On The Holy Spirit: Clarity

When the Holy Spirit works through me it is quite a specific and identifiable experience, which is a surprise because I used to thoroughly believe it could be explained away by suggestion and persuasion. In actual fact it's disconcerting in its uniqueness, like having never known water and then being splashed in the face by God.

It's so rare that i genuinely experience a new feeling that when a one comes along it's normally confusing, difficult to quantify. This isn't though, and I think it's because the purpose is so tangible. When I perceive the Holy Spirit it's like a dramatic and sudden clarity, momentarily blowing away the clouds and giving me a glimpse at my relationship with God. So far these glimpses have been startling, a gust of wind that pushes me back from my previous direction and helps me reconsider where im going.
