The Holy Spirit is like a friend who tells you hard truths. He stops you mid-anger, keeps you from compromising, and shows you what you can't see about yourself. Thank him for that.

You know that one friend, and maybe I'm describing you, that one friend who isn't afraid to tell you like it is? I don't mean that they're rude or mean. I mean, they're lovingly bold when it's needed. If you're out of line, they'll tell you. If you look foolish, they'll let you know. Well, the good news is that you have a friend like that in the Holy Spirit himself. No, the Holy Spirit isn't mean or cruel, but he'll call you on things when necessary. Maybe you open your mouth to speak in anger and he stops you, or maybe you go to Post that post, but he puts you in check. He shields you from compromise and points out blind spots. You need to stop and thank the Holy Spirit for being a true friend. To learn more about the voice of the Holy Spirit, get Holy Spirit: God Within You at encounterthespirit.com.
