You don’t know me, or what’s best for me. I’m a Roman Catholic. End of story. You aren’t going to change my beliefs. They are what they are. In not here to mock anyone; nor am I here to convert anyone. Believe as you choose, you have a free will. If you find joy, and any of the Fruits of the Holy Spirit of which Scripture speaks, in your own faith, proclaim them! Rejoice in God! Surely you can say something positive about your faith, or about your life as a result of that faith, if you truly wish to win converts!

Then just why are you here?

I most certainly can! I am assured that I rest secure in the arms of Jesus, assured of everlasting life with Him. I am unencumbered by doubts of insufficiency or inadequacy as I am in the spiritual realm already cleansed. I have Jesus as my constant companion with the Holy Spirit as by counsellor. I can go directly before the throne of God in Jesus name and need of no fallible man to assist me or stand in my way.

We know; only the Holy Spirit can do that.

But we CAN toss the seeds out on the ground and come back later to see if they've sprouted; if the birds didn't get them that is.
