"the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; But you know Him, for He dwells within you and will be in you." John 14:17
You said you could not leave us orphans; and You kept that promise. You sent the Holy Spirit to be our helper, to lead us right to You. After You finished Your work on the cross you went to prepare a place for us, but You did not leave us alone. A God who keeps His promises is a God who can always be trusted. You dwell in me even when I do not "feel" You. A strong truth I needed to be reminded of today. Because You kept this, and ALL of Your promises, I can loosen my grip on the things I have been so helplessly clinging to and allow You to have full control of me. You are a God who never seeks control by overpowering, but rather, through love, tenderness, compassion, patience and an abundance of grace.
Holy Spirit you speak to me even in the midst of my valleys of doubt. I was never left to fend off my demons alone, You were there speaking truth to lead me out.
Praise God, Jesus came to the cross so You could abide with us forever, and for those words He spoke and speaks even now, " I will not leave you orphans, I will come to you." John 14:18
