Advocate (1 John 2:1-2)

Recently we have become very familiar with the term child advocate.  During the adoption process, a child is assigned a lawyer who is supposed to look out for the best interest of the child and speak to the judge on their behalf.  As a child of God, we are given an Advocate who knows our every thought, desire and need.  He is someone who lived a life full of trials, pain and sadness and can empathize with our weakness (Heb. 4:15).  He goes to the Father on our behalf. He works all things together for good.  What a beautiful gift!  Today, thank Jesus for being our Advocate who understands us.  Thank Him for loving us enough to come to this broken world and to live and die for us.
