The Holy Spirit is a Gift to us from Jesus Christ. We should never forget this fact. This is one of the reasons that we are exhorted by Him to Pray and ask God for the Holy Spirit. The Presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives should never be taken for granted. We should live in such a way as to please the Holy Spirit and not to grieve Him.
