The book of Genesis 1:1-2 told us something about the holy spirit, that he had been here from the very beginning, the middle and definitely the ending and funny enough, Jesus that was born by Mary was actually the child of the holy spirit.
To me the holy spirit is a guardian, a comforter, healer and according to 1st Corinthians 2:13 the holy Spirit also speaks and teaches. he is our intercessor, our confider and let's not forget his most important attribute; he is our friend, a friend that we can count on when trouble is near and far, a friend who is always there to guide us in the right path and stand for us in the midst of pain.
people have tried to find an earthly friend with the above attributes but none, none can be compared to the holy Spirit.
