Father, Son, and Holy Spirit 6-25-05

Good morning, Lord Jesus. I welcome the Holy Spirit to center my thoughts on You, as You perfectly reveal the heart of our Father. Cause my heart to be more like Your heart each day. ... Lord Jesus, You and the Holy Spirit and the Father are One; and You come to make Your home in us, dwelling in the hearts and souls of Your people (John 14.1-31). You are the Vine and we are the branches. You cleanse us by Your Word and abide in us by Your Spirit, that we may bear the fruit of Your love in the earth (John 15.1-17). We do not belong to the world, but You have chosen us out of the world to be a witness of Your truth and love and word in the world (John 15.18-27). Yet we will stand firm as we stand in You and You stand in us. We will speak the truth as we abide in You and You abide in us, for You are the Truth and You have given us Your Spirit of Truth, Who always speaks of You and reveals the heart of the Father of Truth. "When the Advocate comes, Whom I will send to You from the Father, the Spirit of Truth Who comes from the Father, He will testify on My behalf" (John 15.26). As Your Holy Spirit comes and dwells in our hearts and souls in increasing measure, to the degree we submit and entrust our lives to You, we understand more of Your ways and seek to live our lives in more of Your nature. "When the Spirit of Truth comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own, but will speak whatever He hears, and He will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify Me, because He will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is Mine. For this reason I said I will take what is Mine and declare it to you" (John 16.16-13). Yes, Lord. Cleanse us in Your Word and fill us with Your Spirit. Conform our hearts to the heart of our Father, conform our minds to the mind of Christ, fill our lives with the life of Your Holy Spirit. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen. Be encouraged this day!
