Don't Neglect the Spirit

"The West has finally achieved the rights of man, and even to excess, but man's sense of responsibility to God and society has grown dimmer and dimmer... We have placed too much hope in politics and social reforms, only to find out that we were being deprived of our most precious possession: our spiritual life." Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Nobel Prize winner (1978 during an address to Harvard grads)

Are you neglecting the Spirit? Through your pursuit of happiness, are you overlooking the one true, eternal source of happiness: The Holy Spirit. I encourage you to consider these truths as you contemplate the question:

"All this I have spoken while still with you. But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:25-28

For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by men. Romans 14:17-18

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13
Don't neglect the Spirit my friend. The Bible is full of promises about the Holy Spirit... seek God's heart on this and experience the joy of knowing the Holy Spirit.
