Yes God Loves You Too: The Saving Grace Of The Holy Spirit

By Dale Hatfield

Whoever you are, whatever you do, however you live, the grace of God is available to you through the power of the Holy Spirit because of the sacrifice of Jesus. And you don't have to do very much to receive that grace. In fact there is only one thing and it's not hard at all, at least not physically hard. There is no physical action required although it does require a leap of faith. If you can bring yourself to believe that Jesus is the son of God and that He sacrificed Himself so you would obtain God's grace, God will shed His grace on you and you will be saved.
Many people get stuck behind the notion that they will have to drastically change their lives if they ever decide they believe in God. Your life may change. But it may not. God knows if it will. I do not. Most people do experience a change in their lives because once you accept Jesus as your Lord, He sends the Holy Spirit to dwell within your heart to help you understand God's will.

HELLO

Why am I here? What is my purpose? How am I supposed to live? Why don’t I automatically know these answers? How am I supposed to figure this stuff out? Is the Holy Spirit supposed to help me? I had been asking myself these questions for days, weeks, months, years, even. But recently they seemed to be more important to me, so I found myself thinking about them more and more. But I just could not figure what the answers might be. Finally I gave up. I guess I’ll never know.

I decided once again to ask God. I had no reason to believe God would answer me now. What’s different about now? But okay, here goes. I looked up to Heaven and said God, why am I here? What is my purpose? And how am I supposed to live? But since I didn’t expect an answer I didn’t wait for one. I just went to bed.

Hello Dale.

What? I was startled. Had someone broken into my house? Who was talking to me? Who are you and what do you want? I asked.

I am the Holy Spirit and I am here to answer your questions, the voice said.

Then it dawned on me that I was dreaming. I’ve come to understand that I sometimes learn a lot from my dreams. Okay, I said. What questions in particular are you here to answer?

Why you’re here, what your purpose is, and how you should live, the Holy Spirit responded.

I’ve been asking those questions for a long time. I could not help but wonder why they are going to be answered all of a sudden right now.

Okay, I said. But before we get started, I have another question?

The Holy Spirit was not surprised. I know.

You already know what I want to ask. That doesn’t surprise me.

Yes, you want to know where I have been all of your life.

I did not want to admit that was true. It seemed to me that it would be confrontational if I challenge the Holy Spirit to explain where He had been all of my life.

Well it does challenge me to explain where I have been. But it’s not confrontational, the Holy Spirit said.

That’s right, I thought to myself. The Holy Spirit can read my thoughts. I told myself that when I get to Heaven I’m going to be in big trouble if these guys can remember everything I did, said, AND thought.

We can remember, the Holy Spirit interjected. But we don’t really have to remember. It’s all there in the Book of Life.

You know, I said, I like to read. I read books a lot. But I’m not sure I’m going to like that Book of Life.

The Holy Spirit chuckled.

That’s pretty neat I thought. The Holy Spirit has a sense of humor. That got me thinking. In my dreams, I once talked to God and. He had a sense of humor. I also once talked to Jesus and He also had a sense of Humor. It makes sense they are all one and the same. I think that’s going to be one of the questions I ask. How is that possible? I mean, I’m a human being, but I have a spirit so there at least two of me exist. But we are in one spot, contained in one body. I don’t get this trinity thing.

Ahem. The Holy Spirit cleared His throat to bring me back from my roaming thoughts to the conversation at hand. You wanted to know where I’ve been all of your life didn’t you.

Just then, the darn alarm sounded. And I woke up. That’s just like me, talking about things
