Scripture
16I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.” Ephesians 3:16-19 (NIV)

The best gifts come from those who know us best, right? When someone takes the time to consider what we love—not another pair of slipper socks—we know that they wanted to present us with something that meets a need or satisfies the desires of our hearts.

Who knows us better than we do?

God does.

And that’s why he gifts believers with the Holy Spirit.

A part of the trinity, the Holy Spirit interacts with us in many ways. He is that feeling we get when we need a little oomph to overcome something. He supports us to rise above the most challenging moments of our lives. No sin, circumstance or barrier can pull us away from Him forever when we receive this precious gift. Our God, who created the moon and stars, has marked you as His.

With God and His Holy Spirit in our corners, we can do all things, through Christ, who strengthens us. There is sweet freedom in trusting God will make everything alright. The pressure is off our shoulders to handle everything on our own when we root ourselves in the unfailing love of God.
