You are never alone. The Lord has provided us with a Counselor, guiding and inspiring us, equipping us with the tools needed to reflect Jesus wherever we go.
In John 14:15-17 (NKJV), Jesus said, "If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you."
The Holy Spirit empowers us in profound ways. He helps cultivate the fruits of gentleness, faithfulness, peace, goodness, joy, self-control, patience, kindness, and love (Galatians 5:22-23). As Christians, we are called to bear these fruits, showcasing the work of Christ in us. Our love for others, and most importantly, our love for the Father, should define us.
Through the Spirit, we are gifted with a diverse array of gifts such as wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing, miracles, prophecy, discernment, tongues, and interpretation of tongues. These gifts are not earned or bought; they are graciously bestowed upon us by God, enabling us to display His glory before humanity.
Remember, you are deeply loved, abundantly gifted, and thoroughly equipped by God. All you need to do is invite the Spirit into your everyday life.
