John 14:16–17 NLT
“And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you. He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth.”
Holy Spirit is a person.
Many people think about Holy Spirit as a feeling, an emotion, a manifestation, power, or speaking in tongues. But those are byproducts. Holy Spirit is a person, just like Jesus is a person.
That means we don’t have to talk about Him like He is far away or hard to reach. He lives on the inside of us.
You are not trying to find Him or locate Him. He is already there. You are learning to communicate with Him, walk with Him, talk with Him, and be led by Him.
Sometimes we look for God in a song, in a service, or through a certain person. But if you are born again, you have already been touched by God. Now you have to cultivate your relationship with Holy Spirit.
How do you build a friendship? You talk to the person. You spend time with them. You listen. You get to know them.
Holy Spirit is not a feeling you chase. He is a person you know.
Here’s your challenge today:
Thank you God that I have Holy Spirit inside of me to direct and guide me. Help me recognize His leading today.
