John 14:18 (NIV)I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you."
In Rick Renner's book Gems II he did a great teaching on what the word orphan means. It means more than just taking care of the fatherless and motherless it truly means those that have not been parented to the point that they are able to stay in their adult and make adult decisions. Orphans can not take the pressures of life and all the stress that those pressures can bring. All of us need someone to believe in us and encourage us in our ability to do what God has called us to do. Orphans have a hard time taking correction because they take it though the filter of rejection. When we are filled with the Holy Spirit our filter changes and we can begin to see things to which we were blinded to.
John 14:26 (NIV) "But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you."
