Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified. (Isaiah 60:21)
He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. (John 16:14)

Let us seek the enlightenment of the Spirit

The Holy Spirit glorifies Jesus by showing us the things of Christ himself. Jesus is the best recommendation and there is no other way to adorn it except with His own gold. The Spirit opens our minds and the Scriptures to reveal our Lord to us, and this is a great privilege known to those who have experienced the beatific vision. We should seek the illumination of the Spirit to glorify Jesus, and have vivid impressions of His person, work, and glory. Wherever there is a heart enriched by the teaching of the Holy Spirit, there will be a glorified Savior beyond all expression. Read more...

Betty Casanova: Thank you Jesus for fulfilling the promise of leaving us the Comforter, your Holy Spirit, who dwells in his temple, our body, and through him we intimidate with you and he rebukes us whenever necessary, we give you the Glory for being a planting and children chosen to give you all the Glory and honor, teach us to walk cleanly with your Holy Spirit.
What a beautiful prayer, Betty! It is wonderful to recognize the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives, as you mention when thanking Jesus for leaving us the Comforter.
