What Is My Identity in Christ? Finding Purpose in the Pursuit of LoveНамуна
Empowered by the Holy Spirit
Focus
Think about a time when you felt truly empowered. Know that the Holy Spirit empowers you to live out your identity in Christ, both individually and within the Church. Read today’s Scripture with an openness to the Spirit’s empowerment.
Reflection
The Holy Spirit empowers us to live out our identity as witnesses of Christ. Reading Acts 1, we see that the disciples wanted Jesus to give them political power, but Jesus instead calls them to be witnesses, who simply tell the story of what they have encountered. The Holy Spirit's power enables us to overcome challenges and live boldly for God’s glory. Whether alone in nature or together in the Church, the Spirit is with us, showing us who we are.
Apply
Reflect on how the Holy Spirit has empowered you. In what areas of your life do you need the Holy Spirit’s power today? Ask God to fill you afresh with the Spirit.
Respond
Holy Spirit, thank you for empowering me to live for Christ. Fill me with your strength and boldness to be a witness to your love and truth. Help me to rely on your power daily, without being afraid of what it means to lovingly live in relationship with those around me. Amen.
