Guided by the Holy Spirit

By Rod Anderson, CP Cartoonist Wednesday, June 18, 2014

 I love how the Holy Spirit works in our lives. He is always ready and willing to help us grow and change. But He's a gentleman…He patiently and gently guides us into truth. And the fact is no matter how much we try to be or do what's good and right, we can never produce the lasting fruit we're hoping for in our lives without His help.

God wants all His children to be blessed and live full, happy and productive lives in Him. Ephesians 3:16 (AMP) tells us He wants us to "be strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in the inner man by the [Holy] Spirit [Himself] indwelling your innermost being and personality." He is there to help us take each step on our journey to becoming more Christ-like.

As we pray and study God's Word, eventually we begin to recognize a need for change in our life. It can be a struggle sometimes to accept that we are the ones who need to change, but He is guiding us into the truth about ourselves…not anyone else. We must first acknowledge that the need for change is our own.
