The Holy Spirit in the Trinity

Holy Spirit - You are welcome in my heart.
...and in my life.

When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Ephesians 3:14-19

Meditate. Consider the Holy Spirit in the Trinity.

When studying the Bible, it is helpful to go back a few verses to understand the passage. What was Paul thinking of—what caused him to fall to his knees?.

So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God's household, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit. Ephesians 2:19-22

We are not only part of God’s family…but we are the holy temple—the very home for the Lord.

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? 1 Corinthians 6:19.

Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 1 Corinthians 3:16.

The Holy Spirit is an essential part of God. It is the Holy Spirit in me—in my heart—in my soul. This is just what I have been overwhelmed by for years. We invite Christ into our hearts—and it is the Holy Spirit that dwells—LIVES—in us. The Trinity is at work in our lives. We tell our children, grandchildren, friends, family, and even perfect strangers to “invite Jesus” into their hearts—and it is the Holy Spirit that humbly comes there to guide and direct our thoughts, words, and actions. That is God’s love flowing through us. God’s love is so deep—so wide—so long—so high that we may not ever be able to fathom it without praying for that understanding. How big is God’s Love for you? Have you fallen to your knees lately? It is your choice…no one else can make that decision for you.

Prayer – Holy Spirit, You are welcome in my heart—and my life. You are precious to me and may my thoughts, words and actions bring glory to the Father, Son, and You. I pray that those reading this blog today may experience the love of Christ—although it is too great to totally understand. Please, Holy Spirit, give inner strength—and the power to understand God’s love to us all.

Verse of Salvation ~ "When God our Savior revealed his kindness and love, he saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit. He generously poured out the Spirit upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior. Because of his grace he declared us righteous and gave us confidence that we will inherit eternal life." Titus 3:4-7

What can we learn from this about Jesus, about life, and about God?
