Just Breathe

U2 has the following chorus in their song "Breathe:"


Every day I,
die again and again and reborn
Every day I,
have to find the courage
to walk down
into the street,
with arms out
gotta’ love you can’t defeat
neither down or out
there's nothing you have that I need,
I can breath
Breathe now 


In John 3:3-8, Jesus declares that we will not see the kingdom of God unless we are born again.  This is another one of those passages that you could study for lifetime.  But I think Bono says something important.  We need the Spirit to give us the courage to love everyday.  We need the Spirit to evangelize and take our Faith to the "streets."   We need the Spirit to breathe. Rebirth is learning how to truly breathe.    


Heavenly Father,
Help me find Your Holy Spirit,
Help me find courage,
Help me present a love that cannot be defeated,
Help me to breathe,
It is in Jesus' name I pray.
Amen.
