The Wonderful Counselor
About This Script
Seven very different PERSONS each get a chance to spend time with the COUNSELOR (representing the Holy Spirit of Christ), and six of them rush off—too busy, too distracted, too tired, too talkative, too transactional, or reciting prayers by rote. The seventh comes humbly, with no agenda, and finally receives what the Counselor has been offering all along: real relationship.
