getting to know the Holy Spirit

Lately I have been hungering for a deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit. Just seeking Him this last 2 months have been pretty exciting for me. Nothing particularly amazing has happened, but a definate new revelation of who I am in Christ is starting to present itself, amongst other things.

Today at church my friend Chrissy shared her Top 10 list of "why we need Holy Spirit filling". Every single point was so great that I wanted to share it! These aren't in any particular order.
