Pentecost Today

Last Sunday we celebrated Pentecost and the coming of the Holy Spirit.  I wanted to remind you that you are filled with the Spirit of God today, at this very moment.  He doesn’t take off every time you have a stupid thought or act like a jerk or fail to do something you should have done.  He is with you.  He is in you.  Right now.
Jesus said, “He who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing... Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love.”   (John 15:5, 9)
Abide in Him.  Keep turning your attention to Him.  Remember that He is present.  Honor Him.  Obey Him.  Talk to Him.  Listen to Him.  Meditate on Him and on His love for you.  He loves you!  He is with you because He delights in you and likes you.  If we can be convinced of that today, I think we’ll bear fruit for the glory of Jesus.  His presence is an amazing and overwhelming mystery, and yet it is absolutely true.
