How can you become increasingly aware of the Holy Spirit in you except by His effects? You cannot see Him with your eyes nor hear Him with your ears. How, then, can you perceive Him at all? If you inspire joy and others react to you with joy, even though you are not experiencing joy yourself there must be something in you that is capable of producing it. If it is in you and can produce joy, and if you see that it does produce joy in others, you must be dissociating it in yourself. T-9.VI.1:1-5

People who are aware of the Holy Spirit working through them often report that the experience is mysterious to them and they have no idea where the inspiration comes from, how it is manifested, or how the influence it has is produced.
In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote the acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth. How this works seems ephemeral at best and yet we understand what Jesus meant when he said, “Where two or more are gathered in my name, there I will be.”
Today it is suggested that we watch for the impact that the Holy Spirit has on those we interact with and then consider how this was manifested through us and thus become more aware of God’s unconditional love within ourselves.
