The Gospel reading is reminding me of God's love to his people. He has given us the reassurance of sending an advocate, a comforter and to grant us Peace.
He made me to understand that, it's only our love for God will enable us to witness all he has promised, so that we may believe.

Let the peoples praise you o God, let all the peoples praise you!
Looking at the first reading side by side the responsorial psalm, the question that comes to my mind is: are you aiding others to praise God or are you constituting an obstacle on their path. God be our on help. Amen 🙏
Bro. Okolo Samuel (KSM)Obedience to God's Word is the real Proof of Love
New Trends are sure to come, New Diseases, New Businesses, New Deals, New Fashions, New Songs paying Homage to the demons Mammon or Vanity, Venus or Lust, Baccus or Oringo, Abbadon or cults and violence all in the name of enjoyment and relaxation.
Every Child of God must first ask what did God say about this and Obey it. Seeking to know what God said about it is the beginning of wisdom and Obeying it is Love... These are the only ones that carry the presence o of God all around because they are after the very heart of God like David "A man after the heart of God".... The Holy Ghost annoints them with peace and comfort round about nothing ever frights them.... They are so sure footed.
These things don't just happen.
*Relationship with the Word(Jesus Christ) breeds trust in What he has said and trust breeds faith and Faith breeds unlimited Possibilities in Christ Jesus*
Whose Report will you believe today will you choose to believe God's Word today or Trends, Humans or Science Assumptions and Researches today over God's Word?
Like in our first reading if you choose human circumcision ssions to the Word of God that annoints us with the Holy Spirit (Who is Our own Seal and Circumcision) then you are laying Great Burdens upon yourself.
Holy Spirit help me trust you enough to Obey you even if I look stupid and Odd.
My Reflection on the Gospel.
"If a man loves me, he will keep my word"
The above statement also implies that those who do not love him do not keep his commandments. Loving God necessarily also means knowing him, for you cannot love someone you do not know. The promise of the Counselor therefore is the promise of God to help the apostles remember what they have been taught. As we prepare for the coming of the Holy Spirit, we should all be deliberate in making sure we are adequately prepared for his arrival . The empowerment to preach the Good news without fear only comes from him. May God help us to be ready for this profound experience.
My reflections from the gospel our Lord Jesus Christ is saying to us that if we love Him we keep his words and Him and the father will love us and come to us. Most times we find it very difficult to keep this words of God because we live in a world filled with temptations but yet all hope is not lost because our Lord Jesus Christ seeing o nour struggles and has promised the Holy Spirit that Will remind us those words in other to keep it. With the Holy Spirit in us we will overcome the world and be able to keep the words of God and this in turn will make father to come to us. Therefore brethren let us continue to ask the good Lord to give us the Holy Spirit that Will give us the divine enablement to keep His words. Amen.
