“Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.”
— Ephesians 4:30, NASB1995
A Grieved Guest
The Holy Spirit isn’t an impersonal force.
He’s a person—God Himself—who dwells in you. And He can be grieved.
When bitterness, harshness, or unforgiveness settle into your heart, the Spirit mourns. Not because He is surprised, but because He loves you too much to let you stay unchanged.
You were sealed for redemption. Live like it.
Let the words you speak, the thoughts you dwell on, and the choices you make honor the holy presence within.
Reflection:
What attitudes or habits in your life might be grieving the Spirit?
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, forgive me where I’ve grieved You. Make me sensitive to Your voice and willing to repent quickly. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
