John 1: 1- 4
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by HIM; and without HIM was not any thing made that was made.
4 In HIM was life; and the life was the light of men.
The Word that we are given from the Holy Spirit guides us in ALL things pertaining to our life on earth. By following this Word, we have life, the life HE gives us.
This Word illuminates our way to travel through any rough waters and challenges that may be ahead. In this way He lights our way and gives us eternal life.
The Holy Spirit guides me everyday ..... from finding items around the house, making purchases, determining which road to take to a destination, and what to wear. I talk to God all day and He helps me all day.

I know several women who ask me if I need them to give me moral support and encouragement. I reply that I depend on God for this. If they want to be with me to help pass the time, that would be fine. Of course, kind words are always nice to hear but not needed.
If I find myself becoming irritated, I pray. If I see someone in trouble, I pray.
When I see a deer with horns, I ask God to protect him through hunting season unless the hunting human needs food. We currently have about 40 deer in our yard each evening. Some of our neighbors have commented that we have a "deer farm". We just do not allow hunting by anyone but our family. Our family has not hunted here for about 10 years. It seems that the deer know where they are safe. My husband likes to sit on our porch to watch them in the evening.
Then I see those in the world that do not know HIM ... how they suffer ...... how lost they are ....... how they think they are wise ....... how angry they are ...... and I ask how I was chosen and they weren't .... I am impressed with "My (God's) will be done". I have done nothing to deserve this gift.

Right now my sister is dying of cancer while I have been healed. As I watch her suffer I struggle with this and ask Him to help me through. I do not know if she is born again but I call her and speak that which is in my heart. I love her. She was my best friend for many years. Her tumors are so large that she is forced to buy a larger clothes size and yet, she has no pain. The last time I spoke with her, she said, "You should see me without clothes, I look like the concentration camp prisoners with all of my bones showing and a big stomach." I ask Him to help her and give her HIS spirit. I ask her to turn to HIM. She prays for HIS will to be done and is at peace with her situation.
Being human and dealing with our flesh and emotions is sometimes so difficult. If God wants us to live, we will live and if God wants us to die, we will die. We will be on this earth the time and place that HE appoints.
Death is not the worst thing to happen to us. The worst thing to happen to us is to not be born again, to not know HIM and to be damned to hell.
My heart is so full of love and appreciation that I have been given the amazing gift of the Spirit to give me life .... this life that is the light of men. Living or dying is irrelevant ... only the Spirit is relevant.
