Fairy Tale Spotlight: God the Holy Spirit

Have you ever met someone that simply can't figure anything out? You try and try to teach them stuff, even simple things, but they can't seem to grasp the concepts? Yet for some reason they seem to take to their own things with perfection? Additionally have you met someone with an iron clad routine and a resolve to match it? Someone who lives in a fixed manner and shall likely never break from it for the whole of his life on this planet?

Ladies and gentleman, I want you to gaze and behold the absolute nature of the Holy Spirit. I use the word "absolute" because it is sadly the person's go-word for everything he is and shall ever embrace. And I know what you may be wondering... are any of us absolute? No, we are not. Humans are not intended to be absolute. We were fashioned after the Father who seems to be a raging, dancing loony bird. We are creatures of whimsy and silliness. We are not absolute. But the Holy Spirit, this mysterious Mr. Nobody, is.

In many ways, the Holy Spirit has the biggest stick-in-the-butt personality of anyone you will ever meet. He will bend neither to the right nor the left. He is who he is and he is absolute in his nature. In his purest form, he does not even acknowledge his own existence. And best of all, now that he can thanks to the Father, he doesn't like anything about you.

And that is probably the most bitter pill to swallow. We, as humans, are very social, friendly, huggy sorts of people at our best. But sadly, if you thought the Holy Spirit is going to like you for it, understand that he has already formed an opinion of you en mass. He doesn't like you. He will never like you. Nothing you can ever do will convince him. He is a man that prefers his own council, and you are not invited into it.

But fear not. There is a silver lining to this dark cloud. For despite the near inability to relate to the Holy Spirit's shortcomings, it must be said that he is the very breath and life of the concepts known as freedom, justice, friendship, and compassion. You have these things because of him. And that's good, right? You should be thankful, right? Free will is great, right?! From our perspective, we relish these things. But what about the Holy Spirit? What about his perspective?

In actually, the Holy Spirit is the friend and companion to the Father, entirely against his will. His own obsessive compulsion to freedom and friendship locks him into the Father's agenda. But creepily, it is his compulsion to compassion and justice which leads him to want to murder every one of us... for our own good.

Don't get me wrong, there are some of us who deserve it. But... to him... we are all either suffering or horrible... and deserve to be snuffed out or damned. But the Father has politely requested that he does not do this, for he wishes to sort them out in his own way, but there will come a day where the suffering will end... and the damned will be punished... and all will be done to sate the anger of the Holy Spirit... who never really wanted to be a part of this at all.

In truth, he just wanted to be left alone... sleeping under that bridge in an unknown country... and on some days, when the urge would suite him, he would dance about in the warm snow.
