John 14:15-21

What were the commands of Jesus? 

To love God above all and to love others as much as we do ourselves. Without the Holy Spirit in the world we would have no voice | no wisdom | no guide and we would be unable to carry out these commands lost in a world that is clueless to the ways of God…for His ways are far beyond our own understanding. 

Pray that we have eyes to see and ears to hear the Guardian of our soul.
