Often we are asked, “ Where do you live?” and it is easy for us to rattle off our address. But I would like to ask you, “Where or with whom do you dwell?” I’m not asking you to describe the physical location of your house. Nor am I asking you to list those who share the same address as you. I’m more interested in knowing where does the “real you” exist. Where do you go for comfort, wisdom, courage or inspiration? Is it a place within yourself or do you seek the advice of others?
Dwelling with the Holy Spirit, allowing the Holy Spirit to guide your thoughts, behaviors, and decisions, can radically change how you view the world and your relationship with others. For us Christians, the Holy Spirit has been dwelling within us since our baptism and is the powerful presence of God, Himself. And yet many of us are so busy with our lives that we don’t take the time to just be present with God and enjoy His Spirit within us. Let’s make today the beginning of a new chapter in our lives. Today we will spend time dwelling with the Holy Spirit, experiencing God’s love for us, and allowing the Holy Spirit to transform and renew us. Come Holy Spirit, awaken in me, and change me forever. Today is the day I choose to dwell with the Spirit!
