puricare chronicles: INTIMATE FRIENDSHIP - “The amazing grace of the Master, Jesus Christ, the extravagant love of God, the intimate friendship of the Holy Spirit, be with all of you.” - The phrase "the intimate friendship of the Holy Spirit" is powerful and exciting. We are brought into close fellowship with God and each other through "the intimate friendship of the Holy Spirit."

As we are drawn into the intimate friendship of the Spirit of God, we find ourselves drawn nearer and closer to each other. Almighty God, I want to be drawn near to you. I thank you for the extravagant grace of my being able even to say such a thing. You are holy and majestic, yet you want me to come close to you. Thank you for inviting me into such an intimate friendship through the Holy Spirit as I commit to being in a close relationship with other believers who yearn to be drawn near to you. In Jesus' name, I thank you for this grace. Amen.
