Beloved of All
One thing I experienced is that when I many times do something, not spiritual in itself but it could have a certain aspect that has something in common with a spiritual truth, I hear the words of a certain verse. Like, there was this pet shop that specialized in "offbeat" pets. When I looked at the large snake, laying with that transferred stare, yet pretty designs on its face, I could almost audibly hear the serpent in the Garden speaking to Adam and Eve. When I took car trips, when I stopped at the first motel several hundred miles away, because it was new surroundings, completely different from home, verses about the New Heaven and Earth were again almost audible to me. When a loved one dies (maybe especially my mother several years ago, the verse ringing in my ears was "And death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain." So the point, these not specifically spiritual experiences, but the little aspect of it that had something in common with some verse, made me think of the verse. So now… what puts the verses in my head at those specific times? The Holy Spirit? And is this a common manifestation?
