Step by Step: Growing in Faith, One Step at a Time. নমুনা

Think of a toy without any batteries. It just sits there and doesn’t really do anything. It’s still cool and fun to look at, but it’s not doing all it was created to do. We are the same way. We obviously have our physical bodies, but deeper than that, we can have the Spirit of God living in us. Yes, I know that’s a little weird to think about or hard to imagine. But think back to the toy: without batteries, or without the Spirit, we are not achieving our full potential. The Holy Spirit can change us. It can change how we think and how we act. It can give our lives new meaning and purpose. It helps us to become more like Jesus. Like the verse says, we should let the Spirit lead every part of our lives and that means letting God guide what we do in our days.

Well, “how do I do that?” you might ask.

And I say: start with prayer.

Start today by praying and asking God to let the Holy Spirit change you and lead every part of your life.
