When the Comforter is come . . . ~ John 15:26

How do you describe the Holy Spirit?

Hmm…that’s a tough one. Well, whatever descriptors you’ve used in the past, I wonder if “paraclete” has ever been among them.

But that’s what Jesus used. The meaningful title, Parakletos, is translated to Comforter and means “One called alongside to help.”

Okay, that makes sense. The Holy Spirit is alongside to help us. But what about in our own lives? Does the Holy Spirit live within us and compel us to become paracletes to others?

Today, my prayer for you and I is that we will meditate on this idea.
