The Ministry of Love

Think about this: heaven held onto a massive secret for ages, but now God has finally shared it with us. If the enemy had known what was coming, there is no way he would have let the Savior be crucified (1 Corinthians 2:1-8). He was totally blind to what God was doing, and his move actually paved the way for the cross—the biggest win in history! Jesus rose from the grave and opened the door to eternal life, but the story didn't stop there. He then sent the Holy Spirit to actually live inside of us. That is the real mystery: Christ in you! It is His big plan for our lives right now.

It is literally the devil's worst nightmare. Before, he only had to face Jesus one-on-one. But now? He sees Christ everywhere he turns. He is in that guy over there, in this woman right here, and even in every kid who has His Spirit. God's love is hitting the enemy from every single direction.

We can rest easy knowing God’s plan is foolproof, and it is all powered by Christ’s Spirit living in us. As you dive into this devotional, you will feel that same heavenly support that walked with Jesus all the way to the cross. His love beat the odds back then, and through His Spirit in us, He is still winning those battles today.

So, grab a notebook and your favorite pen, and start looking for those special gifts God has for you. Use your journal to keep track of all the amazing things He is doing while you grow closer to your heavenly Father.
