Expectancy and Hope

Ephesians 1:13-14 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession - to the praise of his glory.

I have been learning a ton about the power of the Holy Spirit, not only in my life, but in the world. God has been introducing me to the Spirit in new ways throughout the past six months. It has been an interesting experience. God has invited me to spend time in prayer to the Holy Spirit, speaking directly to that part of the Godhead. I have been challenged with walking differently with the Spirit and seeking the Spirit differently as I learn more about who God is and my relationship with Him. My mom knew the Holy Spirit so well and I got to see glimpses of that relationship throughout my life. I'm excited to be building that relationship on my own and seeking God with a new fervency for who He is and how He works. My prayer for you is that you would open your heart to the Holy Spirit's work in your life. It seems odd and a little unsettling, but that's only when you don't have an understanding of who the Holy Spirit is. Once you get to know peace and holy fear (which is true love) replace scared and unsure. I have so much more to grow in this area, but I am finding the immense power of God to be full of expectancy and hope. I need that.
