The SPIRIT of truth is our friend. What is a friend? Someone we can trust, who is with us no matter what, who looks out for us and advises us, someone we want to spend time with. The term “spirit of truth” is a great awareness and association with truth. The “spirit” of truth permeates our thoughts, our motives, our decisions, not JUST our words as in speaking the truth. The spirit of truth helps to mold us into who we are, just as our friends also help to shape us into the people that we become.
Am I hanging out with my friend the spirit of truth? Have I invited her to my thoughts? Have I asked her opinion about my motives? Have I included her in my decisions? Have I listened to her when she has spoken?
Lord thank you for providing me with the friend who will always be with me. Let me remember to be a good friend back and to spend time cultivating this friendship. Help me to introduce her to my children so that they will want to spend time with her too. Give me wisdom and patience to listen to her and to take her advice.
