The genius of the Christian life is to be developed and matured by the Spirit that lived in Jesus. “The goal of the Christian’s life is the acquisition of the grace of the Holy Spirit” (St. Seraphim of Sarov). We need the “grace of the Holy Spirit”. The Spirit’s grace will give us strength for living and power for ministry. His grace will purify and make us holy. He grace will guide us in life and to truth. Actively seek the grace of the Holy Spirit.
Father empower me by the Spirit that lived in Jesus. May the Spirit of Jesus enable me to forgive as He forgave, to overcome temptations as He did, to work His works, to love sinners and those rejected, to not be vindictive when rejected and persecuted, to exalt His Father and to pray as He prayed. Then I will be like Him. Amen!
