Spirit

[Poet]

Through the years I've journeyed, living age to age,
From child to adolescent, and across the adult stage,
Mind and body growing, with experience and time,
While something that's my inner self is harder to define.

The essence of my nature has always been the same,
An ageless, classless being, no matter what my gain,
Someone who's unchanged by the ravages of time,
Someone who's forever young, with mountains still to climb.

This must be my spirit, the part of me that flies,
That lives within my body, and shines out through my eyes.
That's my definition, but it's just what I suppose,
If you have a better one, perhaps you'll let me know.

No Poet I do not have a better one. Yes it is the Holy
Spirit within you shining the truth(Light).

Just a question here, are you saved(believer) yet?
Sorry, dunno why I asked you that though.
Please do not misunderstand me.
Be Blessed

JIP, you misunderstood me, I was talking about my spirit - 'This must be my spirit' - not the holy spirit. I mean the part of us that's constant, like when someone of 70, for instance, says they still feel 16, unlike the physical body, that deteriorates. Not everyone believes we have a spirit, but, as a Christian, obviously I do.

Oooooooooooo my goodness,,,, after all the discussion, I think I just got what the spirit is

Nice poem poet.
Our spirits change though don't they when we become "born again" of God. I feel I am so different to how I used to be.


According to the Bible we have a soul, a spirit, and a body.Correct me if I am wrong anyone - as I can't find the scripture to back this up.
I always thought we had a soul and a body, I wonder where the spirit fits in? Is it just another name for the soul? If so, why is it mentioned as additional?
A subject for another thread me thinks....

OOOOOOOoooooooooo we did have one Wabco,,, spirit and soul I remember because I found the two bemusing too.

1 Thes. 5:23 (ANIV)
May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
