Comforter



Lately I've been noticing the importance of the Holy Ghost in my life. This, the third member of the Godhead, is known also as "the comforter" and "the spirit." It's role is many: it comforts, guides, testifies of truth, and answers our prayers. Many people have felt the Spirit in their lives. After reading an especially touching account of Christlike service and love, I often feel warm, overwhelmed, teary-eyed. These senstations are from the Holy Ghost, telling us that such things are good. A great blessing of being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, is that after baptism we recieve "the gift of the holy ghost." Simply put, After we promise to live as Christ did and be His disciples (baptism), He promises to bless us with the Holy Ghost, that leads and guides us in our lives and helps us make choices that will bring happiness.
