To abide in a state of grace is to automatically invite the Holy Spirit into our life. To consciously maintain this state of grace throughout the day, through a heart upraised as this chalice, is key to both receiving and then developing the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Now, we may think that when we receive these gifts, they are fully ours to utilize. Yet there are levels of the utilization and the mastery of these gifts that the Holy Spirit proffers unto us, which we can allow to fully be emblazoned in our lives.

The coming of the Holy Spirit each time into our life is key, yet we must use those gifts wisely. We must utilize them in ways that glorify God toward healing, toward wisdom, toward truth, toward the illumination of souls, the beatification of the light within our own realm, in our own life and yet, in a greater glory, unto mankind.

Receiving the gift is not the full empowerment. The full empowerment comes when we wisely associate with God and the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit sees that we are wise in the use of these gifts. We receive greater and greater empowerments, greater and greater opportunities to share these gifts and to bring the light of God into play within our dimension, our realm of being.
