READ
If you love me, you will keep my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, to be with you for ever, 17 even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him; you know him, for he dwells with you, and will be in you.
18 “I will not leave you desolate; I will come to you (John 14:15–18, RSV2CE)
20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 21 He who has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me; and he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” (John 14:20–21, RSV2CE)
23 Jesus answered him, “If a man loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. 24 He who does not love me does not keep my words; and the word which you hear is not mine but the Father’s who sent me. (John 14:23–24, RSV2CE)
26 But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. (John 14:26–27, RSV2CE)
REFLECT
If I love Jesus, I will do his commands.
Jesus will ask the Father to give me the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will be with me forever! The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth and will dwell with me and in me.
Jesus will not leave me desolate he is coming in the Holy Spirt.
Jesus is in the Father, I am in Jesus, and Jesus is in me.
If I love Jesus and do his commands, I will also be loved by the Father and Jesus will love me and manifest himself to me. Both the Father and Jesus will make their home with me.
The Holy Spirit who the Father sends in the Name of Jesus will teach me all things and remind me what Jesus has said.
Jesus gives me Peace. Jesus’ own peace is given to me. I am to hold it and keep it and commanded to not let my heart be troubled and commanded not to be afraid.
PRAY
Lord, I do love you and I want to do your commands. Thank you Father, for sending me the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus to dwell with me and in me. Holy Spirit you know I don’t have the strength wisdom or power, so please empower me to do the commands and bring them to my remembrance. You are Truth and will guide me into all truth. Thank you Jesus for loving me and manifesting yourself to me. Thank you Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit for loving me, never leaving me, and wanting to live with me. I receive your gift of peace. Not just peace but YOUR PEACE! Strengthen me not to let my heart be troubled or afraid, you are walking me all the way home. Amen!
