John 14:16-17
New Living Translation (NLT)
16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate,[a] who will never leave you. 17 He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you.
"Your Name is a strong and mighty tower. Your Name is a shelter like no other. Your Name, let the nations sing it louder. 'Cause nothing has the power to save but Your Name. Jesus, in Your Name we pray come and fill our hearts today. Lord, give us strength to live for You and glorify Your Name" -Your Name Paul Baloche
I was looking for a pen earlier in my mom's room. It was in her room where I realized that I wouldn't be able to find anything if I didn't know what I was looking for. I wouldn't be able to find it if I didn't know where to search. Anything that I would look for would never be found if I just gave up after the first couple attempts at a search party. Nothing would be found if I wasn't desperate to find it. It wouldn't be found if I didn't understand the value of what I was looking for. See, I needed a pen. I was desperate for a pen because I needed to write my bible verses down. In my eyes it held a very high value because I really wanted to write. I knew exactly what I wanted and where to find it. Though I looked and looked and didn't find one in her room I didn't give up instead, I went to a different place to look. I finally found a pen in the living room.
I have found that if I'm always looking for something, I will always find it. If I no longer want to have something all I have to do is give up the search. I want a relationship with God, I already have one but I want to take it to the next level. I am searching for his presence, his love, his mercy, his Holy Spirit, his forgiveness, and his guidance. (Especially his GUIDANCE) I felt that God has convicted my heart with these questions. Who are you looking for? Do you know where to search? Are you giving up because you don't find it right away? How desperate are you? How valuable is it?
Lord help me to be desperate in my search for you. Give me the strength to keep searching even when I don't find your Holy Spirit in the first couple attempts. Lord guide me and reveal your word to me, I want to know you more. I want to be filled with your Holy Spirit, you're all that I need. Lord help me to continue to seek you all of my days. You alone are priceless. You alone will get me through this, please hold my hand so that I will know where to look. Show me which way to go. I want to follow you. I love you Lord in Jesus name I pray. Amen.
