GOD GIVES YOU A HELPER
Read John 14:15-17
Who does God give to help you? How is the Helper described? What is the Helper’s name? How long will the Helper be with you? Jesus spoke these words to His disciples when He told them He was leaving the earth. His words are meant for you too! Even though you physically can’t see Jesus, you can have His Spirit, the Spirit of God, forever. When you believe in Jesus, you get the Holy Spirit and He will never leave! Is it comforting to know that God Himself lives inside of you when you need help?
