Gem #90 - Our Precious Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit champions our cause with Jesus Christ, with groans that words

cannot express. O my soul! you are ready to burst within me. O my heart!

you are swollen with grief. The hot tide of my emotion would readily

overflow the channels of my veins. I long to speak, but the very desire

chains my tongue. I wish to pray, but the fervency of my feeling curbs my

language. There is a groaning within that cannot be uttered. Do you know

who can utter that groaning? Who can understand it, and who can put it into

heavenly language, and utter it in a celestial language, and utter it in a

celestial tongue, so that Christ can hear it? O yes; it is God the Holy

Spirit; He defends our cause with Christ, and then Christ defends it with His

Father. He is the advocate who makes intercession for us, with groans that

words cannot express.
