I wish I could wipe away every hurt, rejection, and loss the world has thrown at you so that you wouldn't have to experience the deep wounds and heartaches that are inevitable to happen to us on this side of heaven. But, I do know that though I can't protect you from hurting, the Holy Spirit that Christ guaranteed to us can provide the healing your hurting so desperately needs. Who is the Holy Spirit, and how does he heal our heartaches?

As Christians, we all know the parts of the Trinity: God the Father, Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit. God the Father and Christ Jesus are typically quite easy to understand, but the Holy Spirit can be quite mysterious. Let’s dive into six facts about the Holy Spirit, and understand a little more about who He is and what His role is in our Christian walk.

Don’t get me wrong Easter is one of my favorite times of year because let’s get real: the joy of our children as they find the hidden plastic eggs, the egg coloring, and the new crisp Easter Sunday outfits are just magical.

I have searched high and low on the best morning routine. No matter what you do, how early you get up, how much water you drink or exercises you fit in before sunrise…if it does not start with the Lord then you are underestimating the power that He has to fuel your day.

Every day distractions tend to rule our priority list but… Where does God fit into your life + where does He rank on that list? Does God bring you joy? Have you taken time to declutter your everyday life so that you can truly make room for Him?

Do you struggle with your identity on who you are in Christ? OR Do you struggle with the person you’ve become since Christ entered your life?

1 Corinthians 15:10 “But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.”

Have you ever wondered if what you are doing is coming from God? Well, here’s my simple truth for you…if it’s pulling you away from God it’s NOT from God! Ask yourself the following questions: Are you too busy to pray? Do you only go to church when you wake up in time…
