The Spirit Jn 16:12-15

Jesus said to his disciples: "I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now. But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth. He will not speak on his own, but he will speak what he hears, and will declare to you the things that are coming. He will glorify me, because he will take from what is mine and declare it to you. Everything that the Father has is mine; for this reason I told you that he will take from what is mine and declare it to you."

The Spirit of truth...will guide you to all truth...and will declare to you the things that are coming. God gives us gifts of special knowledge from the Spirit. It is a mystery, yet we know the truth when we are led to it. I pray that my heart remains open and my own spirit remains willing and steadfast today as I begin the day.
