The yearning in your heart, can you name it, or does it just pester you anonymously? Is there a place to which you feel drawn, a task that begs your completion an idea or word you are compelled to author? Do you know and have you acquainted yourself with the indwelling Holy Spirit of God? You being a believer are the tabernacle of God’s Holy Spirit on Earth, the Holy of Holies in fact, where God dwells among men. Are you afraid to ask God’s Holy Spirit to guide you, counsel you or show you God’s Will?
The Holy Spirit is the earnest of our salvation, according to Ephesian’s 1, sealing us for our inheritance in Christ. So, if the Holy Spirit is not present, then there is no seal, no salvation and no inheritance. Wouldn’t it be logical at this point to inquire as to the evidence of the indwelling of the Spirit? Have you ever asked God to assure you of salvation, to show you His indwelling Spirit? Have you seen His fruits in your life, your rebirth, your transforming or renewing of your mind? That’s okay as we grow in our faith and Biblical understanding we all investigate this question on the way to established faith. Aren’t we told to work out our salvation with fear and trembling? What is the Holy Spirit telling you and if you do not hear His convicting, assisting or guiding prompts, don’t you wonder why not?
Get close to God and He will come closer to you, that is how this Christian intimacy thing works. Seek Him and He will always respond in kind. Don’t be afraid to ask God questions, that demonstrates belief in His Word, for who asks questions of someone in which they have no belief? Have you resisted the tugs upon your heart, have you ignored His correction or guidance, have you effectively silenced God’s small quiet voice in your life? We are all made for something and that something is between you and God. Certainly, pastors, teachers and other Christians can give you some direction but the hunt for intimacy with God through the Holy Spirit via the Door of Jesus Christ our Lord is personal, individual, specific to your course in this life.
Don’t you want to know why He made you? Doesn’t everyone? The fact that people avoid God’s Will confounds me, isn’t that what makes life worth living? Of course I could fill my life with idle pursuits, utilize my gifts for my own determined pursuits or basically deny that I had any specific design, but why on Earth would I choose a lesser existence than that which I’ve been promised by my faith in God? I delight in your making. Let us see what God has crafted in your mind, heart and spirit. Perhaps we will see God in its reflection and it will lead us to a deeper relationship through Christ. Wouldn’t that be a miracle? In Jesus’ Name.
