On the Wings of the Wind

Immersion in the Spirit

Recently James and I watched a TV program about the French composer Claude Debussy. The narrator said Debussy envisioned the waves dancing across the ocean, and this vision became the theme for his classic composition La Mer (The Sea).

I thought about this music when I wrote about the sea in Chapter 1 of On the Wings of the Wind. Debussy said, “The sea completely surrounds you and you become the sea itself.” The further you walk into the sea the more you become completely immersed in the water. You and the sea become one.The same thing happens to us in our Christian walk as we are surrounded by the Love of the Holy Spirit. We are immersed in the Holy Spirit. In On the Wings of the Wind, we share how we can become filled by the Spirit until we and the Holy Spirit are like one. Our relationship with Christ comes alive as we are completely immersed in His Love.

May you be immersed in the Holy Spirit, Patricia Eytcheson Taylor
