—Acts 8:12-25
by: Angie Osborn.
Simon tried to buy the Holy Spirit! He clearly did not understand that the gifts and power of God are not available for purchase. God freely gives his gifts to anyone who will turn their heart over to him. As we yield our hearts to our loving Father, he is able to pour his gifts upon us more abundantly. We cannot purchase his love; his power cannot be bargained for. God is not for sale! He is a gracious father who longs to give in abundance to his children. All we need is a willing, receiving heart.
