Little did I know how much counseling others would be good for me. It brings such joy to see someone walk away with hope, clarity, assurance when it wasn’t there before. Along with joy, God is giving me insights I’ve not had. One gentleman who wanted to grow his walk with God is going through the Blackaby material called, “What’s so Spiritual About Your Gifts?” I have never been any more challenged than I am going through this and being enlightened about God’s Holy Spirit–Christ’s Gift to each one of us who have asked Him into our hearts. The intimacy of God is found in The Holy Spirit and I so appreciate this.

The additional blessing to all of this is the opportunity to talk through one’s growth, one’s mysteries and confusion. Yesterday, the man I’m going through this with, said, “The Holy Spirit has always been a mystery to me and I best respond to something understandable. This material is taking the mystery out of The Holy Spirit and making Him tangible and I do love it.” I join this statement heartily! Having a trusting relationship with The Holy Spirit is having a trusting relationship with the very God Who created you and me.
