“The Advocate will come,
whom I will send to you from Abba God,
the spirit of truth.“
—John 15.26
“Advocate.“ In Greek, paraclete.
One who comes alongside to assist.
God is not your judge or prosecutor,
but your defense attorney,
advocating for you.
On your side.
Against all those voices of accusation,
both yours and the world’s—
those untruths, that you’re not good enough,
that you have somehow failed or fallen short.
God will never be against you, only for you.
The Advocate will stay by your side
and remind you of the truth:
“You are my beloved.”
When the Spirit of truth comes,
they will guide you into all the truth.
—John 16.13
