It will never be easy to follow Jesus. It would be impossible without the help of the Holy Spirit. I love the daily conviction of God's Spirit in my life. It is often hard to obey, but I pray it never becomes difficult to hear.
Without the conviction of the Holy Spirit, I would be lost. He daily guides my life and leads me to act in a manner more compliant with His will. After 3 decades of listening and obeying, I would hope that I would be way better than I am. Unfortunately, it is still a daily struggle to follow Jesus. Fortunately, it is a daily struggle.
I love the conviction of the Holy Spirit in my life. He truly is the "Helper & Comforter" that Jesus promised!
that is an excellent point. if something has to be difficult, i would rather have it be the implications of what i clearly hear the Spirit speaking rather than it being a difficulty in hearing Him speak at all.
