The only thing sustaining our sanity in this world is the spirit of God. In such a mad world we need mad volumes of spirit, and God provides. Others have the soul, we have the spirit. The soul is fleeting but the spirit sustains. The soul is cotton candy and evaporates so quickly that it needs constantly replenished. The spirit of God is a ribeye steak that continually supports without the manic gesticulations of the temporary thrill. We believers of the present have more spirit than believers of the past. More spirit means more of the fruit of "joy," enabling us to survive an unprecedented era of pressure that our predecessors could not even have imagined.
