"Spirit"❓

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.—Galatians 5:22-23

Your Ego is not at stake, because G_d did not create it. Your Spirit is not at stake, because He did.—A Course in Miracles

Each string of a wind harp responds with a different note to the same breeze. What activity makes you personally resonate most strongly, most deeply, with the wind of the Spirit that blows where it wills?—David Steindl-Rast

Centering Prayer, when it reaches the full consent to our nothingness is a perfect preparation for death, because it is death—death to the false self in the Night of Sense and the Night of Spirit and to the ego in the Night of No Self. Even the True Self has been transcended.—Father Keating

It’s never over till it’s over. Never stop fighting. Never give up. Never surrender. No matter how bad it gets, no matter how deep your pain; persistence, faith in your self, and an undauntable Spirit will eventually set you free!—Jim Loehr

But since the devil’s bride, Reason, that pretty whore, comes in and thinks she’s wise, and what she says, what she thinks, is from the Holy Spirit, who can help us, then? Not judges, not doctors, no king or emperor, because [reason] is the Devil’s greatest whore. [‘Vernunft ... ist die höchste Hur, die der Teufel hat’].—Martin Luther

Faith is a living, bold trust in G_d’s grace, so certain of G_d’s favor that it would risk death a thousand times trusting in it. Such confidence and knowledge of G_d’s grace makes you happy, joyful and bold in your relationship to G_d and all creatures. The Holy Spirit makes this happen through faith. Because of it, you freely, willingly and joyfully do good to everyone, serve everyone, suffer all kinds of things, love and praise the G_d who has shown you such grace.—Martin Luther

The life of the body proceeds from the vitality of the spirit; nurture your spirit, and your body will thrive.—Alan Cohen

The law of our life can be summed up in the axiom ‘be what you are.’ ...The spontaneity of this inner ‘law’ is like the organic law governing the growth of a flower or of a tree. When St. Paul talks about the ‘fruits of the Spirit,’ his metaphor suggests something of the way in which a tree brings forth flowers and fruits without instruction, without command, without help from anyone.—Merton

O Great Spirit, I awake to another sun, grateful for gifts bestowed, granted one by one.—Twylah Nitsch

And now I know that love comes from G_d. It is His Spirit in us. We are too selfish to love at all.—Virginia Warren Gasper
