The
grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the
Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen (2 Corinthians 13:14).
This verse lets us know
what we can enjoy from God (the love of God), what we can enjoy from Jesus (the
grace of Jesus Christ), and what we can enjoy from the Holy Spirit (the
communion of the Holy Spirit). God the Father already proved His love in
sending Jesus Christ to die that we may live. The grace of Jesus Christ, on the
other hand, has been poured out on us through His death for us. We now enjoy
that grace in its fullness (John 1:16-17); there couldn’t be anything better
than what He (His grace) already accomplished for us on the cross of Calvary.
However, there’s
something that continues: "the communion of the Holy Spirit." This
refers to the partnership, communication, or fellowship with the Holy Spirit.
It includes talking with the Holy Spirit; yielding to His Lordship and
guidance; sharing our thoughts with Him, and receiving His thoughts through the
Word.
The kind of relationship
we’re to cultivate with the Holy Spirit is one of communion; a sharing
together. The Father and the Son are in heaven, but the Holy Spirit lives in
us, fostering this extraordinary communion with divinity. He’s the one that
makes the presence of the Father and the presence of Jesus real to you such
that wherever you are, you experience the divine presence. God doesn’t
"go" from you, or "come" to you; you’re in Him, and He’s in
you, by the Holy Spirit.
Develop an intimate
relationship with Him by communing with Him constantly in prayer, and through
meditation on the Word. Consult with Him for answers and direction always. When
you face challenges that seem insurmountable, commune with Him, and He’ll show
you what to do. No one but He can give you prefect counsel and guidance in
life.
Confession
I know that I’ll never
walk in darkness, confusion or uncertainty because I’m in fellowship with the
Holy Spirit; He’s my light, and the One who teaches me in the way that I should
go, guiding me in the path of God’s perfect will! Amen.
