But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come over you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth. Acts 1:8
I am sure that the author of Acts did not know the United States, so he finished his statement to all people even to the ends of the earth. That is us!
The minute you accept Jesus as your savior and ask forgiveness for your sins, you have the Holy Spirit inside you. You can say, “Thank you, God, that nothing will happen today that You and I together can’t handle.” Walk in love, live by faith.
As witnesses (hopefully good ones) we go about our lives, going to school or work, being with friends and doing other activities, we represent not only ourselves, but our Lord. We want people to “read” us and see faith and hope and love. I know, sometimes we are tired or unhappy about some things, but we can call on Jesus for help. His Holy Spirit is in us. What a great companion we have with us every day.
Prayer: Dear Lord, God Almighty, Giver of the Holy Spirit, thank you that nothing will happen today that You and I together cannot handle. Amen
