Holy Spirit Come

"And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever—the Spirit of truth." -John 14:17-18
Whenever weget baptized we are baptized in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I feel like too often me miss or dont even recongnize the Holy Spirit within us. As Francis Chan says in his book Forgotten God, "I believe this missing something is actually a missing someone namely the Holy Spirit. Without Him people operate in their own strength and only accomplish human size results." Knowing that the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in me; Shouldnt that change or affect the way I live? I would hope that you could tell my life apart from a non-believers. Whenever I die I dont want people questioning if I was a follower of Christ, I want it to be evident in my life. I think Francis Chan's words this thought just beautifully. "I dont want my life to be explainable with the Holy Spirit. I want people to look at my life and know that I couldn't be doing this by my own power. I want to live in such a way that I am desperate for him to come through. That if he doesnt come through; Im screwed.". "When I am living in a way that requires me to depend on the Holy Spirit people respond by praising my Father in Heaven." Last night I could feel the Power of the Holy Spirit. We went to different stations and had quiet time with God. In one of the stations it was suggested to send a text to someone to encourage them. Usually, I would have choosen one of my best friends and wouldn't have really thought about anyone else. I told God, I wanted it to be your time, speak through me. God moved me to send a text to someone who would have probably been at the end of list. But I knew I needed to do it. Then we were told to write a letter to someone. The name of the person who God wanted me to write to immediately popped onto my head. I got my paper, not completley sure if what to say. But God was making my pen move to words I could have never thought of. they were completley HIS. He knew what this person needed to hear. In this moment I have never felt the Holy spirit so present in my life. This summer God has taught and showed me a lot about His love and at that moment an overwhelming feeling of his love for me and for his children came over me. I just wanted to just cry at how beautiful His love for us is. Just wow. His love is alive and is so beautiful. "No matter where you live and what your days look like; you have the choice each day to depend on yourself to live safely, to try to control your life or you can live as you were created to live as a temple of the Holy Spirit of God, as a person dependent on Him;desperate for God to show up and make a difference. When you begin living a life characterized by walking with the spirit, that is when people will begin to not look to you but to our Father in heaven and give Him praise." -Francis Chan. Abba God, I pray that I am always aware of the Holy Spirit and what He is doing around and in me. Give me the strength oh God, to be everything that I'm called to be. I pray that my life would me different because the Holy Spirit is within me. I'm all yours God, lead me to what our want me to do. Never stop pulling me to you. Draw me deeper Lord...
