The Holy Spirit in Our Conversations

From the book "Tell It Slant" by Eugene Peterson.

A great deal of Spirit-inspired, or Spirit-accompanied, language takes place when we do not know it whether it comes from our own mouths or the mouths of others.

So we need reminding. We need guidance. We need friends who are capable of hearing the Holy Spirit's whispers in what we are saying - and sometimes between the lines in what we are not saying.

Do you have friends like this?

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.
John 3:8
