Ephesians 2:17-18

The connection that all Christians share is the Holy Spirit. Whether one is far off or near, we are all connected to God through His Spirit by the work of Christ. No matter where we are, the Spirit is with us, giving us a direct line to God. What a wonderful thing to have unlimited access to our Lord and Savior. Where we were once cut off, now that connection is restored. Our prayers do not go unanswered for we have access to God. He hears and answers our prayers. He provides us strength and comfort in times of trouble. He provides us courage when we face temptation. He gives us hope when everything seems hopeless. All of this is made possible through the Holy Spirit working in us, reminding us that we have been given peace in Christ. Do you make use of the access you have with God? Do you find comfort and encouragement in knowing that the Spirit of God is alive in you?
