Make your body, soul, and spirit into ‘shining gemstones.’

[Scriptures] Philippians 2:12-16
12)Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling,

13) for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.

14) Do everything without grumbling or arguing,

15) so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky

16) as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain.

Hallelujah!I bless you to be filled abundantly with the love of the eternal Holy Father God and the peace of the Holy Son.

All things in this world are ‘worth’ more and ‘shine’ as much as they are made.
If you take WOOD and make a ‘desk’ with it, it is worth as much as a desk.If you take wood and make a ‘house’ with it, it is worth as much as a house.

Things are ‘valuable’ and they ‘shine’ according to how they are made.

YOUR LIFE too, it’s ‘worth’ and how it ‘shines’ is determined by how you make it.

When making yourself, you must first throw away the thought: ‘I cannot do it.’ You must think: ‘I must surely make myself! I can do it as much as I make myself.’

And when making yourself, you must first get rid of all of ‘your contradictions, your own perceptions, sins, unrighteousness, and the bad hearts and deeds.’

Whether it is a CAR or a MACHINE, if it breaks, you must purposefully fix it whether it takes a day, a week, or a month even. Then it will be fixed.With ‘your bad hearts, deeds, habits, and character’ too: whether it is for a week, a month, or a year, you must purposefully fix them. Then they will be fixed.

YOU, YOURSELF, are a ‘one and only being who is so precious and valuable.’

If you make ‘your soul and spirit’ through your body, your ‘soul and spirit’ will go to HEAVEN and live there forever even if your ‘body’ dies. Therefore, even if you fail to do everything else, you must surely and definitely do the ‘work of making yourself!’

A DIAMOND is not an ‘expensive gemstone’ from the start. In the beginning, it is encased in ‘regular rock.’

First, all the stones on the outside must be removed and eliminated. Only then does the ‘rough diamond stone’ come out.

Second, the rough stone is split and cut. Third, the cut rough stone must be processed by cutting it with 58 facets.

Then as each facet faces one another, they ‘reflect’ the light, ‘diffuse’ the light, and shine as the light ‘passes’ through them.

Only then can it finally be called a GEMSTONE.

PURE GOLD too is not a ‘pure gold’ nugget from the start either. When gold is first dug out of the ground, all the ‘miscellaneous rocks’ must first be eliminated.

After that, the ‘silver and miscellaneous metals’ must be extracted out by melting it in a furnace. After that, the gold is fabricated into ‘necklaces, rings, and various other objects.’ Only then does it become a ‘shiny gold gemstone.’

In this way, YOUR LIFE too, is something you should make.

When making yourself, you should hear the Word of God and the Holy Son and make it according to Their design.

If you make yourself [like that], the ROUGH STONE LIFE will become a SHINY GEMSTONE LIFE.

No matter who they are, all people have SOULS AND SPIRITS inside their BODIES. Just as a GEMSTONE is made with ROUGH STONE, it is to make YOUR SOUL AND SPIRIT perfectly through YOUR BODY.

With people, it is to ‘make the body, soul, and spirit.’

WE OURSELVES are like the ‘rough diamond stones.’Therefore, I bless each of you to shine the light by making yourself shine every day while listening to and taking action on the Holy Son Lord’s Word.
