Yes indeed, that is a lovely verse. There are some very special words in there that I can share with you from my Greek studies. First off, Jesus says He shall give us another comforter. That word comforter is the word PARAKLETOS. It is also officially in Greek the name for the defense attorney. And in Greek concept, it means someone or something that comes along side of you to help you.
You can imagine that if you got thrown in jail, and the defense attorney came to represent you, he would stand next to you before the judge. He would represent you. That's what the comforter is. Jesus says, "I will give you another comforter."
And in 1 John 2:1-2, He is called the defense lawyer, PARAKLETOS. If you want to know what the prosecution is, it is HASETAN, the Satan. That is the official word for the prosecuting attorney, HASETAN, our adversary!
But check this out: Jesus says I will pray the Father, and He shall give you (another) comforter. And the word "another" means another of the same kind. Another of same kind as He (Jesus) is! Notice this: in order that He may abide, (MENO), with you for ever;
My brother, how long is forever? No end! Jesus is going to send another comforter (His Spirit), and He is going to abide in us, and we are going to be a dwelling place forever! ( John 14:1-3). We have the greatest defense attorney, the greatest PARAKLETOS (Comforter), and one day when we stand before the judge (God), we're going to be covered!
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. Hebrews 13:5.

And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, WHEREBY YE ARE SEALED unto the day of redemption. Ephesians 4:30.
Often we concern ourselves with what we should and shouldn't do, We don't speak enough on his promises and faithfulness towards us.
Thank you Brother.
God bless.
( I will never leave thee, NOR FORSAKE THEE.) A Christian may go astray But we have a loving shepherd that always finds his sheep.
God bless.
That ministers to the believer.
Here's another.
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. Hebrews 13:5.
