Matt 3:16 When Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, & behold, the heavens were opened to him, & he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, coming to rest on him. Gen 8:11 The dove came back to him in the evening, & behold, in her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the waters had subsided from the earth. Matt 10:16 I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes & as innocent as doves. Psalm 55:6 I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away & find rest. — The dove symbolizes the Holy Spirit. The dove as symbol of Hope & New Life for Noah & mankind! The dove as a symbol of innocence. The dove as a symbol of flight to safety & rest! If we can get this picture in our minds, we have the ability with the Holy Spirit to find Hope, NewLife, innocence, safety & rest! Love Mel
