Our Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to us , it brings new Novelty always gives us a little scary , because we feel more secure if we have everything under control, if we who build , program, plan our lives according to our schemes , securities, tastes. And this also happens with God. Often we follow , we welcome , but to a certain extent , we find it difficult to abandon ourselves to Him with confidence , letting the Holy Spirit anime , guide our life , in all decisions , we fear that God leads us along new paths we kick our horizons often limited , closed , selfish , to be open to theirs. But , in the history of salvation , when God reveals his new - God appears always offers new - , transforms and total trust in Him asks Noah , which everyone laughs , builds an ark and be saved, Abraham leaves its ground , clinging only to a promise , Moses confronts the power of Pharaoh and lead the people to freedom , the Apostles , of fearful and locked in the upper room , come boldly to proclaim the Gospel . No novelty for novelty , the search for the new to come out of boredom , as often happens in our time. The news that God brings into our lives is what really makes us , what gives us true joy, true serenity, because God loves us and always wants our good. Ask yourself today: Are we open to "surprises of God"? Or we close , in fear, to the novelty of the Holy Spirit ? Are we determined to explore new paths that the novelty of God presents us or we entrench ourselves in old structures , which have lost the ability to answer?
