His blessings are countless, and opportunities for growth and direction are provided by this priceless gift from God. Let’s become more intimate with Him by allowing the Holy Spirit to dwell fully in our hearts.

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!

Luke 11:13 (NKJV)

Jesus is demonstrating in this verse the readiness of our heavenly Father to bestow beneficial gifts upon His children. He cites the example of faulty earthly parents who nonetheless want to bestow positive blessings on their offspring.

Christians can approach God with assurance because they know that He is prepared to pour forth His Spirit on them.

Beloved, the Holy Spirit gives us the knowledge, wisdom, consolation, and a closer relationship with God that we need for the Christian path. Knowing this Christian path is winding, meandering, and treacherous.

See, today, the believer can feel God’s complete presence and walk in accordance with His will by relying on the Holy Spirit. Call on Him, and He’ll fill you.
