Thoughts in Season

Galatians 5:1
“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery”

Pentecost, Whitsun, the birthday of the church – it is the season in which we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit. He is God ever close, and with his help and love we are changed to be more like Jesus. We have the opportunity to grab hold of the freedom which has been bought for us by Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross.

But to see that freedom at work in our lives we need to stand firm.

The Christian life is a journey, one which we start when we commit our lives to Jesus and finishes when he takes us home to heaven. As they say, there are no perfect Christians, only practicing ones.

It means we need to make time for the Holy Spirit to work in our lives through prayer, reading Gods word and worship. And though the everyday challenges we meet. Charlotte’s article is a good example of this.

So this Holy-Spirit season, how will you find more time to pray? Where could you meet with other Christians to read the Bible? And who is Jesus asking you to show special care for in spite of how you may feel about them?

Lets stand firm together in love, prayer and service to Jesus
