I will ask the Father, and he will send another Companion, who will be with you forever. This Companion is the Spirit of Truth, whom the world can\\u2019t receive because it neither sees him nor recognizes him. You know him, because he lives with you and will be with you.\\n\\u201cI won\\u2019t leave you as orphans. I will come to you. Soon the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. Because I live, you will live too. On that day you will know that I am in my Father, you are in me, and I am in you. Whoever has my commandments and keeps them loves me. Whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love them and reveal myself to them.\\u201d\\n\\nPhoto by\\xa0Greg Rakozy\\nThe post Your Inner Divinity – John 14:15-21 appeared first on Queer Theology.'
