I didn’t realize when I took this picture that it looked like a heart! The kids spent hours one snow day last year building a huge igloo! I thought it was an appropriate Valentine picture.
With Valentine’s Day yesterday, what’s the best love
gift you’ve ever received?
I think the Holy Spirit is the best love gift we
could ever receive here on earth! He’s permanent, never wears out, never stops
working, can’t be stolen, can’t be damaged, is always in perfect condition, is
always ready and has full power!
John 14:15-21 15 “If you love me, keep my commands. 16 And
I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you
and be with you forever— 17 the
Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees
him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in
you. 18 I will not leave you
as orphans; I will come to you. 19 Before
long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I
live, you also will live. 20 On
that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me,
and I am in you. 21 Whoever
has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves
me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to
them.”
Jesus commands us to love him and keep his commands.
He also gives us the means to do that through the gift of the Holy Spirit! The
indwelling Holy Spirit enables believers to lovingly obey.
What is your and my relationship with the Holy Spirit? Does He live within you? What evidence is there that the Holy Spirit lives in you and me?
