Last Sunday the topic of offending the Holy Ghost was introduced into a lesson. In my experience the Holy Ghost is more like a large heavy oak desk. Very beautiful in nature, very powerful in presents, very dedicated to purpose, and as this essence of majesty, It has no reason to run but stand firm. It is we that pollute our vision and handicap our path. The desk is before us with its draws full of gifts. Its top is covered with a thick glass, impermeable to our activity. A phone, strait to truth, is on its corner. A planner and calendar provided for us to guide our business. And last and most important pictures of loved ones adorn its surface. Now we can choose to use the desk as designed or we can attempt to cover the desk with magazines, travel brochures, garbage, and other things that hide the desk from us. However the desk is still there even if we can't see it. The phone and other accommodations lost to our view... still remain. We may need help finding them.
I don't see the Spirit as ever offended but extremely disappointed as we choose to hide our heads with our agency.
