We all have a deep need to feel connected and loved.

As we seek to grow the spiritual gifts given to us by the Holy Spirit, those around us will see Jesus apparent in our lives.

We have the ability to plant seeds in others’ lives; seeds that can bear fruit for the kingdom or negative seeds that can crush spirits.

We must be ready for the devil’s schemes. We must not ignore the fact of his existence. We simply must be on guard, be prepared, and rely on the power of God so that we can stand firm.
