So what is the Spirit? WHO is the Holy Spirit? Wind? Breath? Hey called the Spirit an Advocate. A Comforter. The bigger our problems we live through, the greater the comfort we experience from the Spirit. We can carry on Christ- like life changing ministry when comforted, when encouraged by the Spirit. We have a Peace the world cannot give us.

The reality is that we don't know what the future holds for us, only the One holds out future in His hands.

When do we seek God? When there are only problems? What is our motivation? Jesus accepted all who sought Him, for whatever their motivations. Jesus wants relationship with everyone, whether they seek him for healing, for guidance, for reassurance of faith, or just for that relationship. The Love of God is for all, at no cost and with no preconceptions.
