Spirit can be used to mean the spirit given us by God that animates us, houses our inner-motives and emotional expression.
In the New Testament, the spirit "is the realm where relations between God and a human being can take place (Philippians 3:3)." It is "that aspect of human personality...
I'll not quote the cliche, but I do get a definite sense about a persons eyes. Most of the time, I just pick up on the degree of clarity which I take as an indicator of overall health, but every so often, I get a really strong sense, usually in the positive. Those are the times that my...
