“Hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.”
Romans 5:5
THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit lives within our hearts. It both shows us God’s love and helps us with our lives. The Holy Spirit’s very essence is part of our being, an inheritance from God. Through our hopes and dreams, the Spirit is both part of and an advocator for their fulfillment. Understanding the Holy Spirit is a vital part of understanding Pentecost. On the fiftieth day after the resurrection, the Holy Spirit descended for all. The Spirit is our direct line to God, the single element that resides within us that is also part of God. In our lives, when our heart talks to us, we are hearing God. The Spirit within our heart knows the right and just course in our lives. Our Task is to nurture and rely on this gift from God.
Points of Reflection
- How do you feel the Holy Spirit within yourself?
- How often do you call upon the Holy Spirit to help you with life?
- When you pray or read the Bible, do you call upon the Holy Spirit for guidance?
Blessings, until next time,
