God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit make up what’s known as the Trinity. This is at the heart of the Christian faith. The Holy Spirit isn’t a thing, but God’s Spirit.

The story’s told of a young boy who asked his father, “How can I believe in the Holy Spirit when I’ve never seen Him?” His father, an electrician, took the boy to a power plant and showed him the generators. “This is where the power comes from to heat our stove and to give us light. We can’t see the power, but it’s in that machine and in the power lines.” Then he asked his son, “Do you believe in electricity?”

When the boy answered yes, his father asked why. The boy answered right: Everyone believes in electricity because they see what it can do. Likewise, though we cannot see the Holy Spirit, believers in Christ know the results of His power in their lives. Surrendering our lives to the Lord Jesus opens up the power source.

When you yearn for God and desire His truth, that is the work of the Holy Spirit in your life. It is never a question of how much we have the Spirit, but how much He has of us.
