Today's Gospel Reading

When the devil had finished every temptation, he departed from Him [Jesus] for a time. (Luke 4:13)

Have you ever had it happen that you overcome a spiritual hurdle and find that for a period of time that your growth toward God seems almost tangible; that the draw toward our God is unencumbered for a time? I've experienced it that way before and when it has happened it has felt like I've literally been filled with the Holy Spirit - filled from the core outward. I wonder if that is, on a much higher level, how Jesus felt in the desert when the devil left Him alone.
The very next line of scripture notes that "Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit..."
Does that mean that He was awash in the glory of His father? Was His heart full yet light? Were His thoughts tumbling about, yet amazingly cohesive?
I imagine so. And then some. Peace.
