I am a family God. Even before Adam and Eve were created, I existed in a family situation. The relationships between Me, My Father, and the Holy Spirit can be compared in a way to a family.
I am My Father's son, but I am also your big brother. The Holy Spirit was given to you to nurture you like a mother.
Mothers teach, exhort, comfort, and feed their children. These are also all the responsibilities of the Holy Spirit. He teaches you My Word. He exhorts you to keep abiding in Me, abiding in My Word, and abiding in My love. He is the comforter. He loves to feed you My Word so that you will be strengthened to live a fruitful life.
Relationships in families are meant to be an example of this "Holy Family." I glorified My Father by being an obedient son. The Holy Spirit was sent as the "Helper." I created Eve to be Adam's helpmate. The Holy Spirit was also sent to glorify Me (make My presence known on Earth after I was resurrected). Family relationships will be harmonious when individuals in the family do not seek their own. Instead, they seek to give glory to My Father first and then to esteem each person in the family higher than themselves.
