I know many of us on forums like this struggle with new Christians and their ideas and there are many denominations they attend today. We are probably among them some of us. It can be difficult to have patience with new Christians for some of us and remember that they are just entering the areas of understanding. I know I have that difficulty myself and apologize if I have offended anyone that way. God is certainly "patient" and "understanding" of children's needs he has. And I see the difference between his great and infinite love, and my "little child" heart of what measure of love I have. I will keep working on it, and hope God provides for me that way.

What I enjoy about Christian life is that many of us have a love of God and enjoy the Love he has for us. We have God the Father, Jesus the Christ and the Holy Ghost as our God. I enjoy the direction from God in his three areas of personages. We have much direction from God to engage in his good works that are pleasing to God and are wonderful to be part of. Charity and love for God and man are a great way to enjoy a good life. The blessed children of God that are suffering are also in need of aid sometimes from fellow Christians and I think Jesus gave direction that way in the parable of the sheep and goats:

Bible Gateway passage: Matthew 25:31-46 - New King James Version

There is also the lost sheep parable, lost coin and lost son for those that we desire to join as Christian people. And that is wonderful message of God's love for us his children and to help bring in those people that might find that they desire the good ways of our God. And sometimes they have to try it first and see if they like it. Not everyone has experienced God and his love:

Bible Gateway passage: Luke 15 - New King James Version

What is also wonderful about our loving God is another message from the bible:

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

We as Christians certainly know that God is able and powerful, all wise and knowing for the directing, healing and resurrection, salvation of his children and hope for that great day when he raises us into heaven to enjoy the happy family God and his son, together with the Holy Spirit have prepared for us.

The blessings of the Holy Spirit as witnessed by Paul was a wonderful description of enjoyable fruits of the Holy Spirit:

Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
