When people hurt us, we often hurt others by abandoning them. But the Holy Spirit never gives up on you, no matter what mistakes you make or how many times you fail. It stays present and patient, always working to guide you back.
Maybe you've been abandoned and rejected before. Maybe you grew up with parents who constantly reminded you of your mistakes. Maybe you have family members who you were there for, for years, but then you made one mistake and they said, well, now I see your true colors, and they cut you off. You know, some people are very good at that, and it's usually the people who are hurt within. They're very good at cutting people off. Very good at saying, well, I'm done with you. That's one too many. I gave you enough chances. But that's not how the Holy Spirit is. The Holy Spirit is not like that one who abandoned you. The Holy Spirit is not human in nature in that he grows so tired of us that he gives up on us. The Holy Spirit does not abandon you. He stays with you to help you get it right.
