John 14:15-17

15”If you love me, you will obey what I command. 16And I will ask the Father,
and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever— 17the Spirit of
truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him.
But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.

Meditation
1. This passage is about the Holy Spirit, ask Him to guide in a prayerful reading
of it. Make the reading a prayer in itself.
2. The Holy Spirit is the most neglected personhood of God. Yet Jesus promises
to leave His disciples (and us as his followers) with this important Friend.
What does it mean to have the Holy Spirit in me and guiding me throughout
my day, as this passage says: “But you know him, for he lives with you
and will be in you”? Is it comforting? Discomforting? Frustrating? Hard to
understand? Awesome? How can I grow today in awareness that the Friend
lives in me?
3. As I drive, walk, work, study, and interact with others today, call on my
Friend for his guidance with the thoughts I think, the words I speak, and the
decisions I make.

Personal Note:
The Spirit lives in me and is guiding all my thoughts.
