John 14:16-17- 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.
Most, but certainly not all, take the Holy Spirit for granted. Think back before you accepted the Lord. We were as blinded as the world that does not have Jesus now. Don’t let that just pass on by. Embrace those memories and let them motivate you in your quest to know your Lord better.
I can tell you that when you concentrate on the Lord and really seek Him. His arms are around you all the time. ALL THE TIME. He’s your best friend. Make sure to make every effort to treat Him that way.
Because of the Holy Spirit that the Lord sent, we can know Him. Without Him we would be in a cloud. The lost are still in that cloud. Christians that don’t seek to know the Lord are still in their own cloud.
Follow Him. When you take your own paths no matter how good your intentions are, you’re going to cause a mess.
