I Know (Official Lyric Video)
by BDWMusic
[Jesus teaching] “’And I will ask the Father, and He will
give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; that is the Spirit of
truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not behold Him, or know
Him, but you know Him because He abides with you, and will be in you.’
“’These things I have spoken to you, while abiding with
you. 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 said to you.’
“’When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the
Father, that is the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, He will bear
witness of Me,’
“’But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper shall not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you. And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin, and righteousness, and judgment;
"'-- But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into
all the truth; but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to
you what is the come.’” John 14:16,
26, 15:26, 16:7-8, 13
Dr. Paul Brand wrote in his book Where is God When it Hurts?,
that God is not far away, ‘He is in you, the one hurting, not in it, the
thing that hurts.’
Life SHOULD be good and life SHOULD be fair because God is
fair and He is good. But God is NOT life! When you confuse God with the physical
reality of life – by expecting constant good health, for example -- then you
set yourself up for a crashing disappointment.
When a new believe I struggled with God understanding what
it meant to be a girl. How could He
understand all the special struggles, hopes, dreams and the ‘sugar and spice’
of being feminine? And then I learned about
the Truth-bringer who lived within me.
Think about it!
Take care, your servant and friend in Christ, Darlene (who
prays for you each morning.)
