John 14:15-21

New International Version (NIV)

Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit

¹⁵ “If you love me, keep my commands.¹⁶ And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— ¹⁷ the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. ¹⁸ I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. ¹⁹ Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. ²⁰ On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. ²¹ Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”

I love you with a holy and sanctified love. The love I have for you surpasses a human love. I love you and wish so much for your soul to prosper, in Christ. Not as the world sees prosperity, but as God sees prosperity.
