I Am Not Alone

The Holy Spirit is not a distant, secondary substitute for Jesus. He is how Jesus intimately stays with us, ensuring we never have to face life’s heavy burdens as spiritual orphans.When you face the quiet anxieties of your day you are not left to fend for yourself in your own strength. We often treat the Holy Spirit like a consolation prize handed out because Jesus could not stay. But the reality of the Upper Room is radical: we did not trade a great gift for a smaller one. We traded an outside companion for an inside reality.Before your feet hit the floor, let this truth settle the noise. Stop making Christ your last resort; make Him your first move. Turn to the Helper who stands shoulder-to-shoulder with you today and make your declaration: I am not alone. The Spirit of Truth lives in me. And Christ has promised never to leave me.
