The Comforter

The Bible describes the Holy Spirit as The Comforter. He is given to us to serve as our helper, advocate, counselor, and guide. His role as our Comforter is one of the most personal aspects of having a relationship with the Lord. He abides with us, guiding us into all truth-  testifying to us of Christ, and bringing His words to our remembrance. 

When Jesus ascended to Heaven, He did not leave us alone and comfortless; instead, He provided us with the Holy Spirit to dwell within us. No longer do we have to walk through our trials in our own strength. In our darkest hours, the Holy Spirit quiets our anxieties, settles our hearts when the world around us is in chaos, and ensures we are never truly alone, even in seasons of isolation. He helps soothe our emotional wounds, reminding us that we are deeply cherished children of the Most High. So, let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid, for we are not alone.
