Helper
But the Helper, 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. John 14:26
Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to the disciples so they would have all the help they needed to accomplish the work He had ordained for them. That same Holy Spirit lives within every believer today.
The Holy Spirit is our helper. Jesus sent Him to assist us.
He is our Comforter, providing solace in times of sorrow.
Our Advocate, pleading on our behalf.
Our Intercessor, intervening and interceding for us.
Our Strengthener, making us stronger when we are weak.
Our Standby, a reliable resource we can always depend on.
Our Advisor, offering counsel and guidance.
The Holy Spirit works in such remarkable ways. I had just gotten my nails done less than a week earlier, and my thumbnail cracked. I thought I could simply wrap a bandage around it and it would be fine, but then my other thumbnail cracked in the middle and started catching on my clothes. I realized I needed to make an appointment to fix these two nails, but I kept putting it off. Then my index fingernail started breaking too, and I thought, "What is going on with these nails? This has never happened to me before." So I sent a text to my nail technician to schedule an appointment and she had an opening the next day.
Normally, when I visit my nail technician, we talk about family, the Lord, and how God works in our lives. We had talked a little about her fiancé before, but not much. This time, however, I asked her how he was doing, and she began to open up about the struggles they were facing. She had told him that she no longer wanted to be in the relationship, but as soon as she said it, she felt God telling her it wasn’t the right decision. Still, she was so angry that she wanted to end it. She said that on the very same day she received my text asking to come in and fix my nails.
She said, “I knew God was sending me help.” God loves us so much that he allowed my nails to break so that I would schedule an appointment, and he could use me to encourage her with his words. There is no problem too difficult for God, and he is always there to give us the encouragement and direction we need! He loves us so much that he will change someone else's schedule just to reach us and show us his care!
Key points:
The fullness of God dwells within you.
God goes out of his way to encourage us.
Even when we make mistakes God is not mad at us.
