This is the season when everybody seems to be thinking about gifts. Children are making lists. Parents are checking them twice. Even crummy parents are trying to figure out what to give their kids for Christmas.

When Jesus said that even evil parents know how to give good gifts to their children He was making a point. He desperately wanted all of us to understand that if we can do something nice for our children....His Father wants to do something SO MUCH MORE nicer! (that's not great grammar but wanted the point to be made...)

Just as Jesus was and is a gift from the Father's great love for the salvation of the world, so too is the HOLY SPIRIT a gift! Jesus said that He is a Gift the Father wants to give you!

Today, amidst all your hustle and bustle, won't you take a minute to receive the Holy Spirit? Just as you accepted the Lord Jesus as your Savior, accept the Holy Spirit. He is the power of God to lead you into all truth, to guide your steps, and to be the One who brings revelation, peace, comfort, and so much more.

God is Three persons in One. A full relationship with God involves knowing Him as Father, Son, AND Holy Spirit. May you have a Pentecost experience this Christmas as you receive the Present and the Presence of the Holy Spirit in your life.

Let's Pray: Come Holy Spirit, I need you! Father I receive the gift of your Holy Spirit today. And I thank you for His guidance in my life! I do need Him to show me truth and to comfort me today. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen
