At first I felt you were making light of the Holy Spirit as just an ordinary friend. But as I read further I began to understand He is closer and more dear than any human friend. And He puts up with my sin and shortcomings, choosing to live inside me as a Friend in spite of my human-ness.

I can’t conceive how any normal person can write their own life story as you have done. Someone once told me long ago that everyone has a story to tell; I didn’t believe her then, but now I know I have a story that needs written. You have inspired me to begin my story, if only a word or sentence at a time.
