Ask a child how such fruit looks & tastes, He never saw it nor eat of it, & knows knothing about it. So with us if we were not subject to sin sorrow & affliction, how could we be touched with the infirmities of our children when we become Exhalted. Pray & do your Duty whether you have the Spirit or not
