[John 14:16 CSB] "And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever.

Just as there are 3 "if you love me" statements there are 3 promises (21,23). This is the first promise. God will give The Holy Spirit to be a counselor, just like Jesus, to be with us forever. The Holy Spirit is a good gift from God given on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2). The Holy Spirit is given to us to be a help the miserable world around us. King Saul was given The Holy Spirit on the day He was anointed King over Israel, but then on the day Saul offered the sacrifice that Samuel was to offer God withdrew The Holy Spirit and an evil spirit was allowed to enter. God then gave The Holy Spirit to David who had The Holy Spirit for the rest of his days (1 Samuel 16:13). David was brought to Saul and whenever the evil spirit controlled Saul, David would play the harp and relief would come over Saul. As David had The Holy Spirt for the rest of his days so it is with us. We can have The Holy Spirt for the rest of our days. The Holy Spirit has not stopped being with Christian's life except when He is not welcomed. Come Holy Spirit fall afresh on me should be our prayer and call. He is a good gift from God (Matthew 7:9-11)!
