"I will put My Spirit within you and you will come to life, and I will place you on your own land. Then you will know that I, the LORD, have spoken and done it," declares the LORD.'" Ezekiel 37:14
I went to mass yesterday where there was a confirmation. It made me think of my confirmation, His Spirit was instilled but not activated at least in any outwardly way. The bishop sends us forth and then we decide how we respond. Do we let Christ shine thru, do we give authority to Christ to take over. The decision is ours, God speaks, "He cried out with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth." John 11:43 Lazarus has to listen and then come out, otherwise he is still dead.

Father, I thank You for instilling Your Holy Spirit within me, I know I haven't always responded as You would have liked. I still need to listen better and follow Your direction. May Your Holy Spirit guide me today and may I respond as You would. Lord, may Your will be stronger in our lives and may Your Holy Spirit convict us when not doing Your will. I ask this in the name above every other name, Jesus Christ, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Peace, pray for us.
