Lesson #4
When our memories fail us. God will remind us of the truth! This is good news!
But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. John 14:26
Reading this passage gave me restored hope for my mom. After telling her the same things several times, I can get so down. When I read these words of Jesus my hope is restored.
I have been praying this truth over her. The Holy Spirit will remind you of everything that Jesus has said. It may not make her memory of everyday tasks any better, or her ability to remember what she ate for breakfast, or what we talked about 10 minutes ago. It will however solidify some important truths.
Truths that Jesus wanted all of us to remember
He gives us rest
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Matthew 11:28-29
He gives us Peace
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27
He gives us Joy
These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full. John 15:11
He gives us Life
I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. John 10:9-10
He gives us Power to Overcome
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. John 1:5
I am praising God for these reminders today. God loves my mom so much that He sent His Holy Spirit to speak these words of Jesus to her very soul. God is so good to us!
