How Does the Holy Spirit Help Christians?

"The Holy Spirit helps me on being grateful. My mom gave me something I don't like, but I still liked it,” says Siroc, 7.

That's one of the best de. nitions of spiritual maturity I've ever heard: being thankful even when dinner looks suspicious. If you've ever smiled through a mouthful of overcooked Brussels sprouts or a surprise casserole, you know exactly what Siroc means.

In John 16:13, Jesus refers to the Holy Spirit as the Spirit of truth and says, "He will guide you into all truth." The Holy Spirit doesn't just help you be grateful; he helps you understand what Jesus meant, what God wants, and how to live it out.
