Romans 1: 11-12 ” I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong – that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each others faith.”

When you and another Believer meet, you have much more in common than you think, even if it’s a chance meeting in the grocery store.  You share the mutual faith in Jesus Christ and are both part of the community of Believers.  So your interaction now becomes inspired, giving hope and confidence to one another, and boosting each others faith.

John 16:7 ” But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.”

The Comforter…the Encourager…the Holy Spirit.  Sent by Jesus to witness and glorify Him, and part of the Holy Trinity.  He is the Paraclete…the one who comes up along side and guides us in all truth.
