For now, we can say that a sure sign of the presence of the true spirit are the holy desires that inflame my heart to do good in the world. In Genesis 1, the reader can sense God’s own divine desire to create. One can feel the passion of God the Father who says, “Let there be light” and “Let us make humankind in our image.” When I am in tune with God’s ever-creative love, I, too, have that passion to create, that desire to bring forth new life. It is one of the holiest aspects of being human.
