Catching the Spark, Helper

JOHN 14: 15-17 (NRSVA)   15  'If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.  16  And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate, to be with you forever.  17  This is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. You know Him, because He abides with you, and He will be in you. Sparks of encouragement fly as Jesus introduces the disciples to the Holy Spirit. He says, "You know Him, because he abides with you, and he will be in you."   Prayer:   Holy Spirit, old friend, thank you for helping me to put into words to put into action to put into motion the grace of God.   Thank you for nudging me Thank you for cajoling me Thank you for pulling my leg.   You remind me, constantly, of the central truth that each one of us matters and is worthy and that I should act like that is the case.   Amen.
