I need the companionship of the Holy Spirit. Sometimes I do things that invite the Spirit, and sometimes I do things that don't.
John 14 is a chapter about Jesus telling his disciples that he would soon leave to the presence of God. This was Jesus, who performed miracles and healed and taught the words of life. The disciples loved him, and wanted to go with him. Jesus explained that they couldn't at the moment, but God would send the Holy Ghost, which was the Comforter:
"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."
"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." (v. 26-27)
Sometimes, when I feel lonely, or am faced with a temptation, this is the promise I need to remember.
