A Lifestyle of Love

This blog could be filled with my zillions of thoughts and ideas. I am a thinker and a writer, indeed. One thing has been on my mind, however, that I must share because it sums up all the other thousands of words I have been writing and thinking through. That thought is: the meaning of lifestyle.


We create the atmosphere's we live in. We have a lot of choices to make. Oh, that's not a scary thing or a condemning thing. It's actually a freeing thing when you think about it. We are free because we have choice, and we get to choose to let the Holy Spirit flow out of us. The best thing about choice is that LOVE draws the best choices out of us in the most joyous way. We get to feel satisfied when we choose to love someone we love. It really works out quite nicely. :-)

I am just coming to realize, that we were all made for the ease of the flow of the Holy Spirit, in which all of our choices will be made according to the rhythm of His heartbeat, and all of the fruit we have will come from the seed of His Spirit inside of each one of us.

We are full of seed - we have been equipped to do every good work. His Presence is what makes the seed grow into full maturity. And oh boy, when a seed grows into a tree, that tree is unmovable, and the fruit it bears is dependable and real fruit.  A real tree can't bear fake fruit. The fruit off of trees doesn't depend on the farmer. All the farmer does is water and tend to the seed, knowing that the fruit will come.

I want to live a lifestyle full of fruit of the Spirit. I want to see the fruit of Jesus daily in my life. I want to daily experience the fullness of His presence, the fullness of what He paid for on the cross, the fullness of His love. I want this to be a lifestyle. I am tired of every other moment, every other day, every other week. I am tired of letting questions become bigger than my revelations.

I know that God has put inside of me His Spirit, and every day, thank Him that He has already given me the full ability to do every good work & love people with His love. Not because I have to or am pressured to or am trying to meet a quota, but because it is my delight. Because I love Him, and because He loves me.
