John 14: 16-17
And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another comforter, that He may abide with you forever;
Even the Spirit of Truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but ye know Him; for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

One of the major tenets for all Christians is that the Holy Spirit lives within you. Believing God’s word in this verse should raise multiple questions with you.
Why was it necessary for the Holy Spirit to live in me? Why was this so important to God that He changed the entire spiritual foundation of mankind, so the Holy Spirit could live in me? What purpose is God directing me toward now because the Holy Spirit is in me? What’s required of me, so the Holy Spirit can work through me? Are there things I can do to help the Holy Spirit work easier through me or are there things that I do to others that hinder the Holy Spirit working through me? All of these are great questions. But, by now, I’m sure you’ve come up with 10, 20 or more questions on your own.

The bottom line is, that the Holy Spirit lives within us. Understanding why God chose to do it this way is important. The power of the Holy Spirit to change things in your life is available to you. I know you want to know more on how to let Him do it . . . you will soon.

Think about the tragedy you’ve been through. Be prepared to share with others how the Holy Spirit within you is helping you overcome your broken heart. In helping them . . . the Holy Spirit helps you keep moving forward to complete victory.
