The Gospel of John, Day 18: ch. 3, vv. 4-8

4 “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!”

5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit[b] gives birth to spirit. 7 You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You[c] must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”

If we are going to be with God in His Kingdom, His Holy Spirit has to give birth to our spirit. He has to make our spirit for LOVE come back alive again. Oh, and if we have this spirit of love for God and others, we may not know where we are going of where life will take us.  However, if we do not have the Holy Spirit, we know where life will take us: down a destructive road devoid of love.
