"But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life." (Jude 1:20)
If we keep ourselves rooted in the Holy Spirit and allow the fruits of the Spirit to be manifest in our lives we will have every gift and grace we need to be faithful and true to God and to His Church. If we are firmly rooted in God's love we will have the courage and strength we need to daily pick up our cross and follow Him, trusting and hoping in all that He has promised. If we are faithful to God, and do His will, we will advance in faith and wisdom. And, if we humble ourselves before God, He will, in time, lift us up to rest in His eternal peace and joy because He loves us.
Prayer:
Lord, help me to stay firmly rooted in Your love and in Your Holy Spirit. Allow the gifts and fruits of Your Spirit to be manifest in my life for Your honor and glory. Help me to stay humble before You always. Amen.
