He will be called:
Wonderful Counsellor,
Mighty God,
Everlasting Father,
Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9, 5

I need an adviser. There are so many things I know so little of, and not many rules in my field that are always 100% the same. It could always be different from what you think, and you have to remember that … It’s hard.
That is why I find an adviser irreplaceable. He must warn me if I am wrong. He must show me new ways. He must understand my problems and know a solution. He must be available at all times and a real specialist. It’s not only good mechanics for our cars, or electricians, but we need advisers for all life decisions, child education, school, garden, animals, house …. simply everywhere.
I have to maintain this relationship with my specialist. If there is a problem, he does not interfere if I haven’t asked, but he waits until he is asked. But his advice is always correct, so I take the time to talk to him. Sometimes his answer comes quickly, sometimes he tests me to see if I can come up with the solution on my own. But in an emergency he is always there, how reassuring!
He does not see all things as closely as I do. He has a lot of patience and indulgence. Yes, if something goes wrong, so what? Doesn’t matter! It will be painted over, so it will no longer be visible ….. Yes, he is right, I am too petty.
And with my children? There he gives me the endurance, gentleness, confidence, hope and patience. Why get upset about everything? They’ll soon realise their mistake themselves! And sometimes they need a serious conversation. So they have confidence, become independent and learn responsibility.
My counsellor is wonderful. As it says in the verse: Wonderful counsellor. It is my Lord, my Jesus. He really cares, thinks, knows all the solutions and tells them to me (even if it sometimes takes a little while). He can be relied upon. He is a specialist for everything. I need such a counselor in my life! Otherwise there is too much hardship, struggle and loss of energy. Better, just ask the Lord!

Thank You, Jesus, You like me, You like being in conversation with me, You helping! You know my worries, questions and problems and You have answers. I can rely on You, You are wonderful, You are my wonderful adviser!
