BE MINDFUL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

1 Corinthians 2:11 “For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man’s spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God exceptthe Spirit of God.”

We have a Person just as divine as Jesus—just as worthy of our confidence, just as worthy of our trust,just as wise, just as strong, just as loving, just as ready and willing and able to help us at any moment that we turn to Him—to counsel us, to teach us and to give us our victory by helping us to persevere in life.

When the reality of the Holy Spirit sinks deep into our hearts, it will save us from anxiety and worry,from emptiness and loneliness. You truly have a Divine Friend who is always and continuously by your side. Ask Him, and He will fill every nook and cranny and every aching, hurting and wounded place within your heart. 

It’s time to begin thinking of and treating and recognizing the Holy Spirit as the Person that He is! And to give Him the place that He deserves. 

Are you willing to surrender to Him? Are you willing to allow Him to be fully involved in your daily life? 

Because when you do

 The Holy Spirit creates a new heart within you 

 A heart that becomes More alive

 A heart that becomes More in tune to the things of God

 A heart that becomes More like Jesus

 More thankful, More loving, More generous,

 More considerate, More understanding, More forgiving

The Holy Spirit says, “I’m alive! Let Me live!” So how do we do that? “Holy Spirit, what’s Your agenda for me today? Who do You want me to talk to today? Let my emotions be like Yours. Let me see others as You see them. I’m opening my spiritual ears to hear what You say and my mind to conceive what You’re doing and my heart to receive what You’re doing.”
