INTRODUCTION

This journal reflects the experiences I’ve had with God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

I’ll be sharing my journey and what it’s meant for me to have a life with God which, I hope, will help you recognize his presence in your life as well. In the early stages of discovering God, you’ll come face to face with your sins and the impact they have on your life. You’ll also learn how to listen, pray and be receptive to the Holy Spirit’s leading. My hope is that you’ll have a better understanding of the wonderful life journey you can have with God.

What does a life with God promise? The Bible talks about that, and I’ll add that I’ve found a life with God means abundant peace when you trust Him in all of life’s circumstances. He provides unconditional love and acceptance that we all search for in life. You’ll find overflowing joy in knowing you’ve been redeemed by Jesus Christ from your sins. With the Holy Spirit present within you, you’ll have the strength to carry out God’s plan for you.

We’ll be discovering the gifts of the Holy Spirit, what each of those gifts mean, and how to recognize his promptings for proper use of these gifts. You’ll discover that we all have gifts in various portions, and most are recognizable in our individual personalities. There are also other gifts that are not so visible and are more concentrated for a specific purpose that we’ll be learning more about too.

Have you ever read a passage in the Bible that didn’t make sense to you or confused you? Be patient and trust His timing. He’ll bring you back around to it when He’s ready for you to understand. How extraordinary it is that God wants to reveal Himself, provide us with information that will
