"In our association with one another, we should take heed lest we forget Jesus, and pass along unmindful that He is not with us. When we become absorbed in worldly things so that we have no thought for Him in whom our hope of eternal life is centred, we separate ourselves from Jesus and from the heavenly angels. These holy beings cannot remain where the Saviour's presence is not desired, and His absence is not marked. This is why discouragement so often exists among the professed followers of Christ”
Desire of Ages, page 84 from the chapter, 'The Passover visit'
Are you discouraged? The reason could be that you are feeling ill. On the other hand that Jesus is absent from your life. Are you going to invite the Holy Spirit into your life once again?
That would suggest that the Holy Spirit hasn’t entirely left your life. On the other hand it is important to make sure that worldly things don’t take the priority in your life.
