Today’s Scripture: So you have sorrow now, but I will see you again; then you will rejoice, and no one can rob you of that joy. John 16:22 NLT
I have a joy that can not be stolen. I rejoice in the life of Jesus and the current presence of the comforter. Here in John 16 Jesus told His disciples and us that He left so the Helper, the Advocate, the Counselor, and the Redeemer who is the Holy Spirit would be with us.
His is with us NOW. The Spirit of truth allows us to see Jesus. What the Spirit hears from the Father He speaks to us. In Him we know joy and have guidance that no one can rob from us.
All that the Father has is ours, right now, according to John 16:15. Jesus came to show us how to live in the Father. The Spirit came so we could live with Him.
The Spirit reveals the fullness of God’s joy. Have you asked God to know this joy?
Today’s Prayer: Father God, I rejoice in the life and person of Jesus Christ. I am thankful for the presence of the Holy Spirit. I ask in Jesus’ name to know the fullness of Your joy and to know Your will. Thank You Holy Spirit for bringing God to me so I may know this joy now. Amen
