 Here's something I've learned about the Holy Spirit. He loves when you choose him over other things. For example, when you're praying and your phone begins to ring and you decline that call, you put down that phone and you say, no, right now I'm with you. Do you know that that pleases him? I've literally sensed it when I'm praying, when I'm reading, when I'm devoting time to the Lord and distractions tried to make their way in. I've literally sensed his overflowing joy when I reject the distractions.
