Imagine you have a special friend
that you really love to be around.
A friend who helps comfort you when
you are sad or scared.
A friend who makes you have a warm,
happy feeling in your heart.
A friend who encourages you to do kind
things for others.
A friend who helps teach you right
from wrong.
You’d probably want to invite a
special friend like this to your home.
You’d probably clean your house and plan some things to do that would make
your friend feel comfortable and welcome.
When your friend arrived, you’d listen carefully to that friend. You may even tell your friend how glad you
are to be with him or her.
The Holy Ghost is a special friend
to you. The Holy Ghost can bring feelings of warmth, love, peace, joy, and can help you want to do good. When you feel the Holy Ghost with you, thank Heavenly
Father for this blessing. The Holy Ghost is one of the greatest gifts Father in
Heaven can give you.
Just as you’d like to nourish a
good relationship with a friend, the companionship of the Holy Ghost can be
encouraged in much the same way. We need
to be our best and be worthy to have the Holy Ghost with us.
Here are five ways to live worthy to have the Holy
Ghost with us.
Keep our bodies and minds clean.
Have faith.
Avoid sin.
Pray.
Read and ponder the scriptures.
If you do these things, you never need to feel alone, for you will have the most important companion and friend of all—the Holy
Ghost.
