For Chirst’s sake and our comfort the Holy Spirit is given in it's many emanations all the gifts of his love.

The scripture quoted speaks for itself.

My experience after receiving the Holy Spirit and water baptism at nine testify to the overwhelming presence of the Spirit in my life.

The only action I can claim in my relationship with God is being willing to accept him as he is.

Nothing much I could do at nine to please God except learn all I could about him.

Every path is different, the majority of my sin-full life was still before me, I am in my sixties now so I have some perspective.

All of us come to deaths door, all worthy of death.

I have learned, The Sum of my existence is determined by who God is not who I am.
