Whatever our experience was when we first chose to believe and follow Christ, let’s spend some time expressing our gratitude for the incredible gift of the Holy Spirit that God has given us as His children. It was the Holy Spirit that first wooed us to Jesus, revealed Him to us, and then placed His seal upon us so that we’d spend eternity with our Lord. It’s painful to even imagine where we’d be without Him.
The gift of eternal salvation alone would have been far more than enough, and yet, the continual abiding presence of the Holy Spirit within us is a mystery that should continually inspire humility and awe in us. Take time today to reflect on your journey with the Lord. Where have you seen evidence of the Holy Spirit shaping your desires, words, or decisions?
Father, we thank You for the amazing gift of the Holy Spirit. We thank You for Your continual work in our lives, always loving and always urging us forward in our walk with You. Heighten our awareness of Your voice leading us in the path of sanctification and righteousness for Your great name. We love You, Jesus.
