Fill me with the Holy Spirit.

 Fill Me with the Holy Spirit

A Reflection on Ephesians 5:18, Acts 4:31, and John 7:37-39

Fill me with the Holy Spirit—not a trickle, but a flood,

Not a shallow, passing blessing, but the rushing, living blood

Of heaven’s endless river flowing from the Father’s throne.

Fill me till I overflow with power I’ve never known.

Be filled with the Spirit. (Ephesians 5:18)

Fill my empty vessels—the cracks, the hidden shame,

The places where I’ve tried to fill with fortune, pride, and fame.

Only You can satisfy the longing in my chest.

Only You can give me true and everlasting rest.

Fill me with Your presence—not for my delight alone,

But that Your fruit and gifts may through my yielded life be shown.

Love, joy, peace, and patience, kindness, goodness, faith,

Gentleness and self‑control—let these be what I bequeath.

And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness. (Acts 4:31)

I am an empty vessel. Come, Lord, and overflow.

Let me speak with boldness, let me serve with joy I know.

Let me pray with power, let me love without a thread of fear.

Let the Holy Spirit’s fullness be my atmosphere.

Not just for Sunday morning, not just for a special hour,

But for the Monday struggle and the Tuesday battle’s power.

For the quiet, ordinary moments when I’m tempted to forget,

Come, Holy Spirit, fill me fresh; let me have no regret.

Whoever believes in Me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them. (John 7:38)

Fill me to the brim—until I cannot hold it all,

And what spills out will touch the world, answering Your call.

Fill me with the Holy Spirit—not once, but every day.

Lord, I open every door. Come, Spirit, come this way.

Amen.
