Epiphany 2 - John 1:29-42 - Jesus, the Baptizer wit the Holy Spirit

Do not go searching for the Holy Spirit somewhere other than where Jesus promises He is to be given, and do not measure God’s presence by how strong or weak you feel.  Remember instead where Jesus has already met you.  You have been baptized.  You belong to Christ.  His Spirit remains with you.  That means you are free to live your ordinary life in confidence: to love your family, to serve your neighbor, to speak forgiveness, to endure hardship, and to repent when you fall, knowing that God has not left you.
