('New every morning is the love')
John 16 v.7-11
********
John's Gospel Series (19)
Jesus promised the Comforter
The Holy Spirit, He for sure
Would come, the Helper, Paraclete
And Advocate that we may greet
He takes up His residency
In hearts that to Him open be
He dwells within, His truth will guide
Glorifies Jesus, none beside
His ministry, to reprove
To convict, convince, to us move
Our part to play, share the gospel
Glad tidings of the Saviour tell
The Spirit will reprove of sin
Will search every heart deep within
The sin be unbelief, because
People believe not, with no pause
No pause to stop to then believe
And Christ as their Saviour receive
And too, Spirit of righteousness
Does reprove, in Christ's place no less
For Christ has to the Father gone
His only one, belovéd Son
And too the Spirit does reprove
Of judgement, world set in a groove
A groove, seeing that the world's prince
Satan, seems to have victory since
The world began, but he judged is
Jesus brings His kingdom of bliss

I said Paraclete, not Parakeet. Nope, not got a bird on me shoulder!
Can a parakeet be a paraclete - when they say 'pretty boy' are they comforting you?
Fine work O and a great word which I might use later today.
Thanks Michael. Yes, could be comforting in that way.

Impressive!
Thanks ACF.
I always enjoy hearing of the Holy Spirit. When i listen, I know that He walks with me.
Thanks w c.
The Spirit is always with us.
You got me there, I had never heard of the word paraclete - I know now.
Thanks Gold. Well, I only knew with a smidgeon of Greek - it's Parakletos really. Nothing to do with parakeets though! lol.
