God gives His Spirit freely (Luke 11:5-13 Parable of the friend at midnight)
Post covid life has made it hard to find certain items, many things are still difficult to get and if you do find them vendors may limit how many they allow you buy. For some reason .410 shot gun shells have been hard to come by here in West Virginia, Shawnna ran across a store that had some in stock, but they limit only two case per customer. The same is true for boots in the mining industry, since covid makers have not been able to keep up with the demand and miners are turning over rocks trying to find a good boot in their size because of the shortage. You can say the same about your favorite items at the local grocery/convenience store you cannot always find what you need due to supply issues and lack of inventory. Knowing that the demand for certain products reduces it availability wouldn’t you think the same would be true for the most sought-after things in this world, eternal life. In verse 13 of our parable, Jesus says that the heavenly Father gives the Holy Spirit to all who ask. There is no supply limitation, back orders, or wait time. You ask of God, and you will receive the life-giving gift of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit of God allows God Himself to dwell within His creation. The Holy Spirit is the life-giving power that comes into a believer when they accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, and He is the driving force that allows them to overcome this world. Is it not amazing that the scripture says such a gift is available to all whom ask God for it? This gift of God allows us to produce love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control in a body that wants to do the exact opposite. (Galatians 5:22-23) All we must do is ask? All we must do is diligently seek the Giver of Life for this gift as James 4:8 says that if we draw closer to God, He will draw closer to us. We do not have to go from store to store searching for it, we do not have to search online to find someone with it in stock, and we do not have to know someone on the inside to get what we need. We simply must humble ourselves and approach God with a sincere and repentant heart to obtain the most awesome prize of them all. The Holy Spirit, bringer of eternal life and power.
