Recently I've been seeking how I can Better reach out and use this love the Lord has instilled within me. Tonight I was reminded of the answer to my seeking. In Ecc. 12 it says, "Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man." Which reminded me of another verse I read recently that says, "We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands." 1 John 2:3 a footnote there reads "God's love for the believer is made complete when it moves the believer to acts of obedience" At the end of Galatians, Paul writes about living by the spirit and focusing of the fruits of the spirit - "But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. against such things there is no law." Galatians 5:22-23 Thus, tonight while sitting in stillness on the front porch swing, I was reminded that when I am obedient to God through things like obeying my parents and loving my brother - that I am pouring out the love God has given me in order that the family may increase. When we focus on the fruit of the spirit and truly pay attention to it, we grow in the Lord.
With love and joy overfilling me tonight I leave you with a hope that you would know God and His unfailing Love <3 <3 <3 Hillary
