Unseen Gifts

I can't help but wonder why we choose to go through life struggling to find answers to our problems, instead of realizing we actually hold the answer to every problem within us. God sent to each of us an unseen gift that can answer every problem and relieve all our stress, but as with every gift, we must choose to receive and unwrap this gift and look at all It has to offer. This precious gift God gave us of Holy Spirit is inside each of us, attempting to guide us along our way; but in this fast paced world, we seem to overlook Him and forget He is within us as we hurry about trying to make things happen in our own thinking; which eventually causes frustration as things don't go the way we thought they would. We get too busy to have a simple conversation with God telling Him our problem and then listen to His voice, Holy Spirit, as He instructs us in what to do that would end in success. Why do we neglect to acknowledge so great a gift when Jesus knew how very much we would need Holy Spirit as He told us in John 14:26 "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you". He knew we would face situations in life where we would need divine intervention and divine wisdom so He sent us the unseen gift of Holy Spirit to live within each of us and direct us as we journey through life.

Holy Spirit is our guide, our comfort, our protector, our instructor, and our companion along life's pathway; but we must acknowledge Him and choose to listen to His direction if He is to help us through the circumstances that arise in our life. There is no problem too big for Him and nothing ever lost that cannot be found; if we take time to talk with Him and listen to His guidance. I know in my own life, there have been many times that I have misplaced keys or something I really needed; and after searching and searching I would just give up, sit down and being totally frustrated to the point of tears I would just blurt out, "Lord ya gotta help me find this; You gotta show me where it is" and in my time of stillness and being exhaustively quiet, sure enough, my eyes would fall upon a certain area or I would sense a need to check in a certain spot and boom, there it was; and I would wonder why I hadn't asked for His help to start with and prevented a lot of unnecessary stress. But like so many of us, I was too busy running about trying to make things happen in my own time and in the way I thought it should be, choosing to do every thing on my own; instead of being aware of this wonderful amazing gift within and seek His wisdom in the matter at hand.  

This unseen gift, Holy Spirit, literally becomes a part of us as He abides within us. He knows the mind of God and will always do the Father's will, so He will never lead us down the wrong path or give us he wrong instructions. He wants only the BEST for each of us and in our darkest hours He is always right there with us, working within us, to comfort and bring us peace as only He does best. He knows every burden we carry and every fear we face; He knows our strengths and our weaknesses; and He gives what is needed for that time period to be all we can be for the good of all concerned. God designed everything we would ever need for an abundant life in Him if we choose to accept the gifts and guidance He provides. He created the plan that once Jesus ascended back into Heaven that Holy Spirit would come and inhabit the bodies of the redeemed so He could abide within each of us forever; to guide and to teach us, to comfort and to strengthen us, and to give us power for service to be His witnesses in all the earth. Holy Spirit gives us the ability to accomplish all things necessary for an abundant life filled with joy and peace as we acknowledge Him in our life.  

It is God's will that we, His creations, be joyful and prosperous; not stressful and in need. But just as all man-made things on earth come with an instruction manual, even so, God's creation of man comes with an instruction manual called the Bible; and when read, It instructs us on who we are, what we were made for, and how to get the best use possible; but if we fail to adhere to these instructions, we will not receive the best possible results. God so loved us that He gave us a part of Him through His Son, Jesus....... and Jesus, so loved all of us that He gave us a part of Him and His Father through Holy Spirit....... and Holy Spirit so loves us that He wants to guide us along our pathway of life! But if we don't read the instruction manual God gave, as many choose; we will fail to know the precious gifts of Jesus and Holy Spirit, Who were given to make our lives complete. Today, the choice is ours!  We can choose to believe and receive God's precious unseen gift of His Son Jesus as our redeemer; and we can choose to believe and receive the precious unseen gift of Holy Spirit as our companion and guide;  or we can choose to not believe and live a life filled with sin, filled with doubt, and filled with confusion. God will not force us to believe, but He allows us to choose the path we take in life.

So, now the choice is yours and I pray you will choose wisely and come to know the joy wrapped up in these precious unseen gifts. I pray that you choose to know Jesus as your Lord and Savior and to choose Holy Spirit as your lifetime companion. I pray that as you choose to receive these unseen gifts, that you are filled with peace beyond measure and Godly wisdom, as He guides you throughout your life; and I pray that you enjoy a life filled with such Love and Joy that others can see Jesus in you. I pray that you be blessed, dear friends, because God loves you and so do I~~~
