John 14:16-17
16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to 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.

Counsellors provide support to people experiencing emotional difficulties by helping them to identify and work through their issues. Most Counsellors work with clients on a specific issue for a designated period of time rather than a long duration, with a view to fostering the client's well-being and supporting them through personal problems or life transitions.

Holy Spirit is given to us as a Counselor. Not just for a specific time but forever. He lives with us and will be in us. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him.

Imagine someone who we really respect comes and stays with us, in our house. We will make sure that he feels very special and warm. He gets his food on time and not just ordinary food, special dishes. We want to give the best for that person in all aspects.

Are we making Holy Spirit feel special and warm inside us? Being a counselor, He loves talking to us. Do we make time to listen to his counsel? What was the last counsel or guidance that you heard Holy Spirit and followed? Can we make a commitment to make it a habit to listen to His precious counsel and follow it even if it is against our wishes? Only then we can confidently say we are led by the Spirit

Application

Have a memorable time with the Holy Spirit requesting Him to give his counsel and pay attention to listen and follow his guidance.
