Another Comforter

{Image obtained through Google Images}

And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

John 14:16  

~~ANOTHER Comforter~~ implying that, in Him, there already had been and was One! But, because He would soon be crucified, rise again, and ascend into Heaven; because He was leaving them {His disciples} He was supplying the need (Phil 4:19) of His own (John 13:1-- which totally applies to you, by the way! You're one of 'His own' and He desperately loves you!) by not leaving them comfortless (John 14:18). Instead, Jesus was supplying them with another Source of Comfort in the presence of His Holy Spirit!

Your struggles, as insignificant as they may seem to others-- or, perhaps you even think they are insignificant to God! :-( -- those struggles ARE important to God!~~ YOU are important to God! You are His child! His Daughter!

He "tellest your wanderings"~(Psalms 56:8a)

He stores EVERY TEAR you shed (even the 'secret' ones) in a bottle~ (Psalms 56:8b)

{Anyone envision a shelf of multiple bottles there? lol}

He is intimately acquainted with:

 every thought you have (Psalms 139:2) (Psalms 139:23-24) (Jeremiah 17:10) (1 Samuel 16:7)

Every struggle you face (Psalms 34:17-19)

Every trial you go through! (1 Peter 1:7) (1 Peter 4:12)

He knows! (Job 23:10)

He cares! (1 Peter 5:7)

He knows how you feel. (Hebrews 2:17-18)

He has been there (believe it or not! J) (Hebrews 4:15)

 “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

Matthew 11:28

Like Jesus’ own sister may have physically done in the loving and everlasting arms of her Big Brother, you can, as His daughter, rest in the arms of your Father♥♥

Take time to do this today! If you haven’t, SHUT THIS COMPUTER OFF and grab your Bible, and go spend some quiet time with Jesus!

You won’t regret it! J
