We need to truly believe in Jesus and what He came for and did then we are given the gift of the Holy Spirit because He is in His glory. Jesus came to show us the light of the world, Himself, that gift was free from God to accept and embrace. The same is for the Holy Spirit, when Jesus returned home to be seated at the right hand of the Father He gave a gift of the Holy Spirit for us to accept and embrace. The more we understand that when we live our lives growing and learning from God we fill ourselves more with the gift of living water so we can be like Christ. It is not about special gift’s it’s about truly living a life that is glorifying God. Every gift that God give’s is amazing and we should ask for all He wants us to know but there is true peace of knowing God is in control and He knows what is best for us and that He can make everything that happens be for the good of the Kingdom.
1 John 4:16-18 says, “We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in His love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. And as we live in God our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face Him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world. Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced His perfect love.”
Ask, seek and knock by continuing to grow and learn everyday to be like Christ and fill yourself with the Holy Spirit that is given to you when you accept and embrace it and let it work in your heart to experience His perfect love. Don’t worry or fear believe in everything that God has done and remember what Jesus said in John 16:33 “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”
Live by the Spirit in your heart by feeding yourself everyday and learning to live in God’s will. Amen
