John 14: 23. Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. "
Jesus is talking to the disciples about leaving them. He tells them about the Holy Spirit, who will stay with them. The nonbelievers will scoff, because they can't see or hear the Spirit. But the disciples and other believers will feel the Spirit. God will live in them.
It isn't easy to face those who ridicule your faith. They can't see or hear God, and they are doing just fine without your quaint superstitions. I know that their lives would be better if only they would let the Spirit guide them, but I am helpless to show them the path to peace. We are at an impasse. I can only love them and pray that they find the path on their own. "If I knew the way, I would take you there."
Prayer: Lord, help Your people people to find their way to You. Let me hear the Spirit's voice, telling me how to follow Your best path for me.. I am unsure, and I acknowledge that You have the answers I need.
Amen
