Hello there! The other day, I talked about the Spirit of The Lord. How best to understand it as we go into the weekend, than in the fixed? That is, like the sun, moon, stars, elements, and trees in this sense. The sun, for instance, set, on a daily route, never misses a day, even above the clouds. The rain, or snow, falls exactly as directed, and none more when it stops. The wind! It blows, and stops when/as told. Trees, embodying this Spirit: poured, growing into various incomparable forms of aesthetic value. They hold onto their leaves and release them as told. Some grasp onto the dead ones, way into spring, while still growing, and others release without holding back, - at the appointed time. My point, is how inactive they seem, by submitting to God; when the wind blows, humans encroach, fire burns… yet all the while, growing still. Christianity/religion, is more of a practice, than mechanical process. That of correcting the mind eternally, and aligning our lives to sinless, God-guided ways. Living in Spirit, as per Romans 8, expounded more, - by a hope we cannot see. Man is naturally used to faith by sight, rather than hope. That is, what is seen/known, is confirmed, but what is unseen, is the higher calling, and hope for a brighter future. How can one settle for the mediocre, when God answers the hardest questions? Why change personality, for gain, or acceptance? Look at the trees, to understand more. Our wise, ancient, overlooked guides. Patient, loving, joyful, peaceful, kind, self-controlled, generous, faithful, & gentle. They cannot walk away from their spots, no matter what. Unshakable faith!
