And it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, and who has also put his seal on us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.

39 years since I began to listen to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Oh, He had been there, lurking in the background until I was willing to listen to the direction being offered. What a ride it has been as I refuse the advice and often pay the penalty or acceptance His leading and revel in the joy of the reward. Not earthly rewards, though He has been faithful to provide for my needs, the reward of a life lived in the righteousness, peace, and joy of the Kingdom of Heaven in the here and now.
