Too many Christians charge off into the world to boast of their faith before the Spirit has entered them. Christ charged His disciples to stay in until it happened to them. Why should things be different for us?
The Holy Spirit would be evident if more people were stricken by their need to be with Jesus. We would stoop to help the needy and demonstrate God’s presence in our day.
Dear Lord, move in us. Move into our hearts and take up shop. Throw out anything that hinders our faith or keeps us from exuding You. Then, when our attention is where it belongs with You, let those around us see. Amen
