Being Chosen

This week I studied about the Holy Ghost. I don't have anything crazy to share besides some thoughts. 

One thing that I really like is how the Holy Ghost is the source if our testimony. In 1 Corinthians 2:11 it says "the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God." No offense to our kind, but we know nothing when it comes to the spiritual things. When we came to this earth, a veil was placed over our minds and we forgot everything. So we need the Holy Ghost to teach us, so that we can gain testimonies of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It also reminds me of how we can all listen to the same talk, or scripture, and recieve something different. And we can read the same thing a different day, and learn something totally different. The Holy Ghost tutors each of us personally and teaches us to our needs if we willing to listen. 

Throughout the scriptures we can find stories of when people reject comfort (Genesis 37:35, Moses 7:44). And it made me wonder, do we reject comfort? I know that at times in our lives we are in desperate needs of love and comfort, and we may want that comfort- but do we turn to Jesus Christ and let the Holy Ghost comfort us? I guess it is just a question to ask yourself. Are you accepting the comfort you need right now?

I also like how in Acts 9:17-18 it talks about how after baptism we are filled with the Holy Ghost. Filled. To be filled, is to have no more space. When we are filled with the Holy Ghost, we are filled with the Love of God, the light of Christ, etc. When we are filled with the Holy Ghost, we are full of good things- there is no room to desire other things. How can you be more full of the Holy Ghost?
