Think of the disciples, daily walking and talking with Jesus, and then . . . he was gone. Surely they mourned, as Jesus knew they would. He promised them comfort:
John 14:26 (AMP)
. . . the Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit . . .
We have the same promise, the same Comforter.
Comfort of any kind would be good. On my chinstrap here, totally knackered.
And so much left to do.
You’ve come farther and done more than anyone thought possible, Andrew. You’ve done it in the power of the Spirit. There’s the comfort. And know this — you are wrapped in the prayers of your friends.
