Suffering is a necessary evil for me. I need it to understand the best gift in the world: The Holy Spirit who is with/in me. I would choose terrible circumstances with the presence of my Dad to hold me than no tribulation with no Holy Spirit.
He brings peace to my soul. I belong to Him. My soul is made to be filled by Him alone. I need Him. My soul aches for Him. Nothing is right without Him.
"If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
Luke 11:13 ESV
