About This Quote
O Holy Spirit, descend plentifully into my heart. Enlighten the dark corners of this neglected dwelling and scatter there Thy cheerful beams. A person is not always concerned with their spiritual state, but they are most apt to neglect that matter when they are busy with affairs of the world. Many people make the mistake of disregarding spiritual matters when they are caught up with worldly matters. The remedy is to encourage the Holy Spirit to descend abundantly into our hearts by thinking about the things of God and exercising our faith in God.
