(For a few days my schedule was overwhelmingly busy, and afterwards I caught a cold. Normally, I would never catch a cold, not even once or twice a year. After a long period of time of not having a cold, I felt so uncomfortable this time being chilly and having a runny nose. After waking up, I did the work that I had to do. But since my body was in a condition different to other days, I was so grumpy as I did the work.
Upon waking up in the morning, I grumbled, “Huh, why is it so cold? Why do I have a runny nose?”
I wondered, “How did I come to catch a cold? Was I in such a circumstance where I would inevitably catch a cold? Or did I fail at caring for my body given my situation? Was there a way that I could have avoided this cold?”
I concluded that there was no way for me to have avoided the cold, with just changing one or two circumstances. Then I calmed down.
Then I came to think, “I should be thankful for this. I could have caught an even more severe cold.” I came to be thankful that I did not have a sore throat, high fever or felt that my entire body was run down. Rather, my body only felt cold with a runny nose and nothing more. Surprisingly, after I was thankful, the heart of grumbling disappeared and my heart was at peace.)
* The Word of the Holy Spirit *
My love, be thankful in every situation. Without thankfulness, no one can open the door of Heaven to come to the Holy Trinity. The Trinity’s heart is touched with the <offering of thanksgiving>. But ‘complaints and grumbling’ will never touch the Trinity.
If you complain and grumble when you are faced with situations, you will lose the blessings you would receive if you had given thanks,and the heart, thoughts and actions of the body will be led astray from [the domain of] life.
You cannot change your situation by complaining and grumbling. But even when you are facing difficult times, if you seek things to be thankful for in the difficult situation and make those confessions to Heaven, the thanksgiving you give will move the Trinity’s hearts. Then I, the Holy Spirit will change your situation.
‘Thankfulness’ is the method of conversation that belongs to life. ‘Complaining and grumbling’ is the method of conversation that belongs to death. If you feel inconvenienced by something you have lost, do no put yourself into the suffering of complaining and grumbling. Rather, look for things that you have not lost. ‘What you have not lost’ is greater than what you have lost.
You need to always think that you could have been in a situation that is a lot worse than what you are in now. Let’s say that you caught a cold. By having a cold, your throat is sore. But more than that, you could be feeling a lot more uncomfortable than now by having a runny nose, a severe body ache to the point you feel like you have been hit, and a high temperature. Having only a sore throat is ten times or a hundred times more comfortable than all the other complex symptoms of a cold, isn’t it?
Always think of the worst case scenario aside from your current situation, and thus, do not cease to offer thanksgiving and be thankful before Heaven! My love, there is ‘a way that people can converse’ with each other. The same is true for your relationship with the Trinity.
If you want someone to help you by making your situation better, then when talking to that person, do you think you can move the person’s heart by complaining and grumbling about the inconveniences you go through and telling them how grumpy you are because of it?
All situations have good and bad to them. There are many people who are in far worse situations than you. But if you speak about what you are going through like it is the entire world, and if you complain and grumble to a person who doesn’t bear any responsibility for what happened, that person who has to listen to you would have no choice but to think that you are ’too sensitive and are over reacting’.
You have reflected on your situation and found what to be thankful for. Then you gave thanks to Me. That thanksgiving touched My heart, so I am now speaking to you like this. ‘Thanksgiving’ is <the method by which you converse with Heaven>. Through ‘thanksgiving’, you will be able to communicate with God, the Holy Spirit and the Holy Son of the Trinity.
I, the Holy Spirit know your every situation. I know what is best for you and I help you. Don’t you think I do that? I have prepared everything to help you, and I change the situation that you are in. However, if you complain and grumble without knowing that, I will not want to give you the things I have prepared for you.
My love, be wise! I am not saying that it is wrong to feel uncomfortable. Rather, I am saying that you need to keep your manners before the Trinity, who are watching over every single thing you do. Keep in mind that your heavenly bridegroom is watching over your every word, thought and action. Every moan of your pain echoes in the Trinity’s ears.
I am telling you about the method of conversing with people and with the Divine Beings. It is to first ‘be thankful’. After that, you can explain your situation in detail, about the inconveniences you are going through and how you want to be helped.
My love, do not make light of the importance of managing your body. If your body is sick, I cannot use you during that time. Take care of yourself well so that you won’t catch a cold. Eat well, rest, exercise and do not push yourself too hard. You know best whether you are going over or not. If you are sick, I, the Holy Spirit, cannot use you and work through you until you recover.
You need to seize time! Rest when it is time to rest, eat when it is time to eat, pray when it is time to pray and study the Word when it is time to study. If you play when you need to rest, or if you sleep when you need to eat, you are not taking responsibility for your ‘health’.
I, the Holy Spirit, am teaching you. Take care of your body perfectly! To manage your body does not simply mean to ‘manage your health’. Management of the physical body begins with <time management>! If you seize time by doing things at the right time, your health, soul and spirit will all be well looked after. Your body, soul and spirit will all be managed well in accordance with My, the Holy Spirit’s plan. You manage your body, soul and spirit by sharply managing your time.
You need to take action at the right time. But if you push your body too much, you need to then rest that much! If you do no rest, you will go over your limit on top of that, and your body would inevitably have problems. If your body becomes sick, you cannot use time in accordance with a set plan. As a result, your body, soul and spirit will loosen. That becomes a loss to Me, the Holy Spirit and yourself. We will suffer a great loss.
You were not sick previously, so you did not feel any discomfort. So naturally you would be sad at the fact that your body is sick, and feel uncomfortable about it. You must feel sad. I feel sad too. But do you know the difference between you and Me? You complained and grumbled about your sickness, but I, the Holy Spirit, did not complain but only thought about how I can heal you quickly. Then I teach you what I need to teach you and help you with what I can help you.
Do you know what this means? Both of us responded to your body falling sick by feeling sad about it. But you responded in such a way you felt there was nothing in your circumstances you could change. I responded in such a way that I thought about how to improve your situation. You reacted emotionally, while I handled the situation rationally.
Complaining and grumbling does not give you and the Holy Trinity any positive solutions. At this point, where you want your body to quickly recover, it is far more appropriate for you to grasp what caused your sickness, what you need to do, take action on it and hope that your body will heal faster.
There were some conditions which caused your body to catch a cold, and that’s how you caught a cold, isn’t it? You need to catch the cause and do not let yourself become sick again because of it. You and I feel so sad at your becoming sick like this, don’t we?
‘Complaining and grumbling’ brings about a change, that is, you become discouraged. By becoming discouraged, you are unable to see the entire picture of the situation; rather you become focused only on the ‘inconvenience’ you are facing. It makes you get stuck in one place. It makes you have lethargic heart and thoughts.
My love, do not complain and grumble as though you are the most unfortunate person in the world. Even for ‘the most unfortunate person in the world’, ‘complaining and grumbling’ is not the way to solve problems. Even for such a person, ‘giving thanks to Heaven’ opens the door of the Trinity and makes Them want to change the circumstances.
Rather, ‘complaining and grumbling’ makes you ‘the most unfortunate person in the word’. Why? By complaining and grumbling, you lose the changes by which he Holy Trinity help you completely and enable you to overturn your situation. The Trinity are the ones who help your life fundamentally and powerfully. But you cause the Holy Trinity to be distant from you by complaining. Hence, you become the most unfortunate person, isn’t it true?
Do not make yourself to be ‘the most unfortunate person in the world’! Come before Heaven through ‘thanksgiving’. ‘Thanksgiving’ makes you ‘the happiest person in the world’. It also makes you into ‘a person who obtains the most valuable thing in the world’. Furthermore, it makes you into ‘a person who moves Heaven and Earth’.
Through ‘giving thanks’, you can reflect on what you have and what you have not lost, can’t you? Even though you have incurred a loss, you can make it better because ‘your body exists’, and you can seize the eternal spirit through your body. So how happy a person you are!
Through ‘thanksgiving’, your confession perfectly fits the Holy Trinity’s hearts and moved the Trinity, did it not? This is the way by which you gain what is most precious in this world. In other words, you will gain the Holy Trinity’s hearts and the Trinity, who rules over all Heaven and Earth, will change your situation. That is why you become ‘a person who gains the most valuable thing and can move Heaven and Earth’. Isn’t that true?
‘A complaint worth 1000 words’ can never change anything into a positive. However, if you say just one word of <sincere thanksgiving>, this will change your situation in a positive direction in a flash!
My love, take action wisely. This is ‘the virtue of heavens’. You are so precious in My, the Holy Spirit’s, eyes, but is it right for you to complain and grumble just because you feel uncomfortable? Don’t you think that I would be startled by you?
I, the Holy Spirit, treat you valuably and teach you. So be a person who thinks and acts in a sophisticated way. I love you! ‘Complaining and grumbling’ makes you ‘the most unfortunate person in the world’. Therefore, through ‘being grateful and offering thanksgiving’, become ‘the happiest person in the world, and the person who obtains the most valuable things in the world, and the person who moves Heaven and Earth’. I, the Holy Spirit, have taught you this. Bye.
