“.. we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit ..” (Acts 19.2)

What observable difference does the Lord’s gift of His Spirit make in the way you live your life?
What had been lacking in the way the gospel had been presented to them?
Prayer: Make me always a good learner from You, Lord. May I see You more clearly, love You more dearly and follow You more nearly [Richard of Chichester]
