A truth from Him

There is such freedom in the Holy Spirit.

Living my life these last few months acknowledging the Holy Spirit to be a real Person in the Trinity and trusting Him to give me constant direction has allowed me to be free of:

The fear of hearing a sermon or reading a book, article or random internet posting that is false teaching that will lead me off course and confuse me. It's His will for me to know Truth. He will tell me what is Truth and what is lies.

The fear of never really knowing His will for my life.   It's His will for me to know His will.  He will make it known to me if I'll wait for Him to show it.  The waiting is the hard part.  The waiting is where Satan attacks me the hardest.  But He is there to help even then.

The fear of being too much apart of this world, of being too much of it. He goes with me where I go. I don't have to hold myself off, separate myself, live in a bubble or constantly worry that I'll slip back into old ways if I don't.   He goes with me into the world.  This is how I live in the world but not of it.

I must, must, must constantly humble myself and acknowledge that I can't do it on my own.  If I ask the Holy Spirit to make Himself real to me and then simply REST in knowing that I can trust Him to do just that.  After all, it absolutely is His will for me to know Him.

Lord, let Your good, pleasing, perfect, sovereign, confusing sometimes (for me), just, holy, hope filled will be done in me.   Because I see now that Your will sets me free.

I praise you, Father.  Not because You need it, for You are complete even without it. I praise You because it makes me whole and complete, because it's what I was created to do.  Help all of us who claim to be Yours really know the depth of this freedom.
Amen.
