Fact 7

Is it a fact that there is a share in the gift of Pentecost waiting for each member of Christ. He received gifts even for the rebellious. To each grace has been given.

The promise of the Holy Spirit is to as many as the Lord our God shall call. Without doubt you have a share in that infilling, that divine unction, that marvellous power in service, which transformed the apostles from being timid sheep to lions in fight.

You may never have put in your claim, but there is no grace that others have which you may not obtain. All thing are yours. God has made over to you the unsearchable riches of Christ.

Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, all the stores of grace and love and power which are yours in Christ, accumulating for you in the Divine Deposit Bank.
It seems a thousand pities that you should live a beggar's life when such wealth of faith and power are yours; but if you persist in doing so, your folly and blindness do not alter the fact that the fullness of God is yours in Christ.

These are some of those facts, made known to us in the Word of God, which will conduct us over the brook of turbid emotion to firm standing ground. Let us give up worrying about our faith, or feeling the pulse of emotion, and come to rest on these truths, assured that they are more stable than heaven or earth.

Father,
thank You for reaching out to me in Your love, and offering me Your wonderful salvation.
Today I open myself to be filled with the Holy Spirit, who makes my faith real to me, and who keeps my love for You burning brightly in my heart,
in Jesus' name,
Amen.
