Today is my oldest granddaughter’s birthday. She is a vibrant messenger for God’s love and mercy. She teaches in a neighboring school district and makes me so proud! Happy Birthday Faith!

Yesterday morning after finishing my message here I began to work more in the workbook focused on The Gift–The Holy Spirit. It is so powerfully written having the participant not only find the immense amount of scriptures regarding The Holy Spirit, but helping us see the value of Him in our lives when we do surrender fully to Him. All day long I was being reminded within myself of Him. This morning I continue with this same important sense. God’s Holy Spirit awaits our total obedience. Yes, we can live our earthly life having Jesus as our Savior, but, I just can’t live another day not surrendering to Jesus as Lord and desiring to obey His Gift to us–The Precious Holy Spirit. I know this is a daily surrender. I’ve lived too long not taking this daily step and falling prey to my own selfishness and Satan’s temptations.

God is so AMAZING. He sent His Son Jesus to model Himself in flesh form. And if that weren’t enough, when we accept Jesus as our Savior, He gives to us Himself to live within us–The Holy Spirit. All this God has done for each one of us! What LOVE!
