John 16:1-15, God in Me

“Nevertheless, I am telling you the truth. It is for your benefit that I go away, because if I don’t go away the Counselor will not come to you. If I go, I will send him to you.”

‭‭John‬ ‭16‬:‭7‬ ‭CSB‬‬

Read Context

From my perspective today, this is a hard passage to believe.  These men had God in person, Jesus…they could talk to Him, ask Him questions. First hand observe miracles and reach out and touch Him.  This statement seems impossible, that the Spirit inside of us is better…just sounds crazy.

But, my only experience is that the Spirit is permanently residing in me.  There is never a moment where God is not at hand…yet I don’t always listen to Him, ask Him questions or even talk to him.  That is the sad reality.

Lord, help me to live as if You were inside of me every moment of every day.  Help me to converse with you and observe your works in my life.  Allow me to recognize You in me.
