The Promised Holy Spirit

John 15:26
The promise of the Holy Spirit had eventuated just as Jesus said it would. But how the Holy Spirit made his entry was unique, particular the event that day of speaking in tongues.
We may not have that same gift available to us, but each of us has our own unique Spirit-given language of some sort—a way to reach out to the people around you who do not yet know Jesus or believe in Him. It may not be a literal language, like Spanish or Vietnamese. It may be a skill that you have that brings you into contact with people
who need help—a gift like nursing, accounting, or building. It may be a gift of caring or hospitality—something that helps you build relationships with your neighbours, and ultimately allows you to share your faith with them.
Whatever your language is, it’s one you can speak “in the street.” It’s one that, if you are willing, God can use to bring His love and mercy to other people. You don’t have to be experienced or wise. You just have to be willing. (reference from Lutheran Hour Ministries 19/5/21)
