Only the Lord God and the Holy Spirit

Matthew 5:48

Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

 

2 Samuel 22:26

 “To the faithful you show yourself faithful, to the blameless you show yourself blameless.

 

Psalm 121

1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains—

    where does my help come from?

2 My help comes from the Lord,

    the Maker of heaven and earth.

3 He will not let your foot slip—

    he who watches over you will not slumber;

4 indeed, he who watches over Israel

    will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The Lord watches over you—

    the Lord is your shade at your right hand;

6 the sun will not harm you by day,

    nor the moon by night.

7 The Lord will keep you from all harm—

    he will watch over your life;

8 the Lord will watch over your coming and going

    both now and forevermore.

God Loves Us More Than Other People Love Us

Is there anyone in the world who helps us, loves us, and saves us every day without missing a day? Whether we look up to the heavens or across the earth, the only ones who help us every day, love us, and save us are the omnipotent and omniscient Lord God and the Holy Spirit. Even if people help us, fundamentally, it is God and the Holy Spirit who help us using appropriate people at each time. When we realize this, we can feel the deeds of God and the Holy Spirit all the more.

Our fundamental helpers are only the Lord God and the Holy Spirit. If God, the Almighty Being, doesn’t help us every day, we cannot exist. God is with us and helps us with individual things as well as things pertaining to His Will.

However, as the ones receiving God’s help, we will only know how He helps us when we try to realize. Realize that God and the Holy Spirit love us, help us with what we need every day and are with us, and help us to resolve our difficulties and problems.

Value Yourself and Make Yourself Clean

Furthermore, if we make ourselves clean and perfect, God and the Holy Spirit will be happy, and They will treat us with more love, treat us more valuably, and be with us even more. Therefore, we should train and make ourselves like gold, just as Job did. Why? It is because we are so valuable. We are valuable, but there are also many things covering us.

Thus, we must value ourselves. Then we will get rid of things that cover us, make things clean, and show ourselves more valuably and perfectly. Now is the time to check ourselves and to make things clean. God and the Holy Spirit are with us and help us endlessly every day, and if we make ourselves clean, God will help us even more to succeed and prosper. 

However, if we don’t repent of our sins, we will be judged according to our deeds. Judgment is God’s way of cleaning; God cleans dirty things to make things clean. Since God and the Holy Spirit repay people according to what they have done, we need to get rid of what we need to get rid of, cut off what we need to cut off, and make things clean. Then we’ll reveal our positive aspects and shine even more beautifully.

Pray to God for Help Resolving Difficulties

Since God helps us every day and takes care of our problems, we should let God know about our difficulties through prayer and petition endlessly. Even if we face difficulties, we shouldn’t just get caught up in them and worry. We shouldn’t be afraid. Instead, we must solidly do what we need to do before God. Checking ourselves and making ourselves perfect is the first and foremost thing we must do.

The more perfect we become, the more God and the Holy Spirit will show their omnipotence through great power and authority and make miracles through us every day. God said to Joshua and King David, “Be perfect. Be complete. Be bold. Then you will defeat the Amorites or the Philistines who fight against you.” With this, God let them be remembered in history for defeating their enemies and winning and told their descendants to live in the same way. Thus, the more help and love we receive from God and the Holy Spirit, the more we must come to our senses, check and reflect on ourselves, and make our hearts, deeds, faith, and lives perfect. Then, just like Joshua and King David, God will help us to resolve our difficulties as well. 

Realize that God will give to us endlessly, help us 100% and be with us, and do things for us in mysterious ways. God will give us what we pray for. Therefore, we should entrust our worries to God and the Holy Spirit, and pray.
