Summary

Today we’ll explore who the Holy Spirit is, and what that means for knowing the heart of God richly in our daily lives. The concept of God’s Spirit is often seen as elusive, but it’s my hope today we’ll come to know him as a person—just as we have Jesus. The Spirit longs to have a beautiful, deep friendship with you. And all it takes is opening our hearts to him.

Our Scripture for today comes from John 16:13, and today's worship is Holy Spirit by Kari Jobe.

Thank you so much for listening to today’s podcast.

As you go about your day today, look for one more time that you can set aside five minutes to simply rest in the Holy Spirit. Developing touch points with God throughout the day, where you can set aside every other care and burden, and simply rest in the Spirit, is such a lifegiving way to maintain communion throughout the day.

Make sure to rate, review, and subscribe.

Have a wonderful rest of your day, and may God bless you as you seek him.
