I fear that some members of the Lord's Church
"live far beneath our privileges"
with regard to the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Some are distracted by the things of the world that
block out the influence of the Holy Ghost,
preventing them from recognizing spiritual promptings.
This is a noisy and busy world that we live in.
Remember that being busy is not necessarily being spiritual.
If we're not careful, the things of this world
can crowd out the things of the Spirit.
Some are spiritually deadened and past
feeling because of their choices to commit sin.
Other simply hover in spiritual complacency
with no desire to rise above themselves
and commune with the Infinite.
If they would open their hearts to the refining influence
of this unspeakable gift of the Holy Ghost,
a glorious new spiritual dimension would come to light.
Their eyes would gaze upon a vista scarcely imaginable.
They could know for themselves the things
of the heart, of the Spirit, that
are choice, precious, and capable of enlarging the soul,
expanding the mind, and filling the heart
with inexpressible joy.
