That He may rule in our hearts

Ever wonder why He had to go away? When darkness and helplessness surround, we wonder. Then He throws in a flame which lights up our understanding and warms our hearts. His promise echoing in our minds, "I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you." John 14:18 NKJV. I will talk to the Father, and He'll provide you another Friend so that you'll always have someone with you. This Friend is the Spirit of Truth. The godless world can't take Him in because it doesn't have eyes to see Him, doesn't know what to look for. But you know Him already because He has been staying with you, and will even be in you!" John 15 - 17 The Message.

A friend who will always be with us. A friend who is the Truth. A friend who remains with us and in us at all times. We live in a world which doesn't stop for anyone. People come and go in our lives. People whom we are closest to may not be with us at times we need them most. When push comes to shove, how would we choose to respond when tempers flare and temptations arise? At the verge of losing control, let Him. About to slander someone, let Him. About to gossip, let Him. About to give up, let Him. In all things, let Him.

Stay close to the Friend in your heart because He keeps us in check and keeps our heart tender towards Him and man. "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Matthew 6:21 NKJV.

May the Lord keep you and make His face to shine upon you, Sv ",+
