We Are Not Orphans

escadaLuke 4:14 says that Jesus returned to Galilee with the power of the Holy Spirit. Here we see that He let himself be led by the Spirit, it was the Spirit who directed his life, so that He was announcing the good news to every corner and it was the Spirit who showed him where to go. The consequence of this docility of Jesus was the outreach to the poor, the prisoners and the sick of soul and body.
What has been lacking to us Christians is the docility of being led by the Spirit. We no longer ask what God wants for us, what He wants to say. The consequence is not the release of our family or loved ones, but fights, intrigues and unforgiveness

.
We need to take life in the Spirit, and ask Him what to do or even what to say. These times require us to be anointed by the Spirit (He is God’s promise to not leave us orphans. (Cf the chapter in John 14).
We are not orphans, for the Father first loved us (I John 4;. 19), so He gave us his Spirit to advise us, to heal our wounds caused by our bad choices or what people did to us.
