Here I am again as I am pointed back to my message of Gratitude. I was listening to a sermon this morning as part of my time with Jesus, and the pastor talked about the Holy Spirit as a person. He referred to I Thes. 5:18-19 "...give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. And do not quench the Spirit." (I didn't include the verses before and after. I just wanted to include the "jist of what I am speaking to)
When I edify my Father with thankfulness I am entering into the presence of the Holy Spirit with the right attitude. I am welcoming Him to come along side of me and to work in me. The Holy Spirit's purpose is to glorify Jesus. Jesus, my Father wants nothing more for me to be thankful. I think that I often do not acknowledge the Spirit as a person. He deserves my respect and I want nothing more for His guidance during my day. So, back to my ongoing list of gratitude I go as I desire more of the presence of God in my life!
