Spiritual Adviser

In my entire life, I have never been so excited to read the Bible. I have never been so in love with God like this before. It is truly a wonderful feeling that no earthly thing could ever replace it and I thank the Holy Spirit for letting me know Him. God is truly a good God. He knows what we need and simply gives us that but oftentimes we neglect that. Have you ever thought trials, sufferings and those "little misfortunes" (as we oftentimes mistook as just that) we have experienced could in fact be God's blessings? Some would probably think otherwise. I know, in the journey of searching to know the truth, a lot of questions arise. Am I pleasing or hurting God if I do this? Am I going to the right church? Do I follow God's commands? And what are those? How can I introduce God to others when I feel like I am nothing? And endless questions more arise. And after our other questions are answered, more questions just come up. Is this a sign of having very little faith? I myself is still a babe when it comes to my spiritual life and I take this relationship I have with God so seriously now. We should all do. It is also helpful to find a "spiritual adviser". Whom you could talk to and whom you think is full of wisdom and has greater faith like a priest or a pastor in the church we go to. The Bible, the Word of God is also there. And also our brothers and sisters in Christ. But most importantly, God has given us His Holy Spirit as our mentor, guide, help and comforter.
