The Initial Gift
Devotional: Have you ever received a gift that changed everything? When we accept Jesus as our Savior, we receive the incredible gift of the Holy Spirit. But amazingly, this is just the beginning of what God has in store for us. Like opening the first of many presents, salvation marks the start of an extraordinary spiritual journey. God's plan includes not just a small portion of His Spirit, but a complete immersion in His presence and power. This truth should fill us with anticipation and hope, knowing that our loving Father wants to give us even more of Himself.
Key Bible Verse: "I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire." - Matthew 3:11
Reflection Question: What areas of your spiritual life feel like they could use a fresh infusion of God's presence and power?
Quote: As amazing as it is to be a new creation in Christ, to be a full new creature in Christ, Jesus says that there's more that he has for us which should be mind blowing.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for the initial gift of Your Spirit. Help me to remain open and expectant for all You want to do in my life. Create in me a deeper hunger for more of Your presence. Amen.
