John 3
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
I have been marveling over this verse for a few days.
Feel free to share your questions/understanding of this verse.
Peace and Blessings.

1) "the wind bloweth where it listeth" (pleasure, inclination, suits, likes) is the sovereignty of God the Holy Spirit in the new birth, based only on the pleasure and will of God (Eph 1:5).
2) "you hear the sound thereof, but cannot tell" - the operations, manner and methods of the Holy Spirit are secret and hidden, but they are known, nevertheless, by their effects
