Life is change. But it is not antithetical to what came before, it is not a negation of that, or an elimination of it. In some ways, it might be a building upon it.
How often do we speak to the Holy Spirit? Do we expect the Holy Spirit to work in our lives just as the Son and the Father?
I have promised to pray for many—usually those who faced illness or sorrow. But my requests can also embrace the happy, healthy people in my circle of care.
