In addition to the respect it conveys, sometimes it is just plain helpful for clarity's sake. However, I have always wondered why we do not do the same with the relative pronouns, "Who" and "Whom." I have come across a couple of pastors who do capitalize the relative pronouns, and it does seem that that would be most consistent, but I'm not sure I could develop such a habit this late in the game. Even harder for you. =) I sympathize with what you are saying here, and I also try to capitalize divine “He,” “Him,” “You,” and me “Me.” In addition to the respect it conveys, sometimes it is just plain helpful for clarity’s sake.
