No Other Rock

The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit. ~ Romans 5:5

Often, we think of being a Christian as being a belief system. But really, it is an experience. Sure, we have our belief’s, but they in fact drive our experiences. Through open our hearts to the experiences that are provided by the Holy Spirit.

I can think of countless times in which I have seen, felt and even sensed God’s presence. I have witnessed events and actions that can only have been provided by God. In fact, I am living today because of God’s Grace.

Dear Christian, let me ask you: Are you living in this heart-enrapturing experience? Do you at least enjoy recurrences of it, when released from nagging work-day obligations? Note three things about those first disciples: First, they loved the place of prayer (Acts 1:14). Second, they were in “one accord” (14)- no grudges, place-seeking, or cruel gossip! Third, they really believed the promise, “Ye shall be immersed in the Holy Spirit. (5).

Today, my prayer for you and I is that we will experience our Christianity.
