If the Spirit of the one
who raised Jesus from the dead
lives in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your human bodies also,
through his Spirit that
lives in you. Romans 8:11

Hergenrader wrote Family Trees &
Olive Branches which I recommend highly and is available at bookstores and
online services. Sometimes we forget about the Spirit that lives inside us,
given to us when we accept Christ as our savior. We go around doing our free
will and tend to our busy lives. These are some words from Christina’s book
that touched me deeply:
Living as a child of God includes the experience of reading a Bible verse
that your soul leaps at because, in your most tender places, you know it as
truth.
Life in the Spirit is humbling; it’s recognizing the radical patience and
kindness another person has shown you.
Life in the Spirit is praying to your Father and feeling the profound
peace that comes from knowing He is taking care of you and has been caring for
you.
Life in the Spirit is hearing an explanation of God’s expansive love for
you that resonates so deeply that you feel whole. Life in the spirit is
receiving the underserved forgiveness of someone you have hurt .
Prayer: Dear Father in heaven, we humbly come to you and thank you for your Holy Spirit which helps us understand so much. Amen.
