THE FRUIT

Galatians 5:22 (NKJV) 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, ...
   Life is riddled with analogies and comparisons, we often think in terms of, it is like this or compared to that. God brings clarity to the conversation and exposes our bent toward just getting by, He uncovers the desire to be status quo, or to say, "I am ok." The Creator didn't almost make a bird, it flies, He didn't almost make the mountains rise they tower above us, the lion doesn't almost roar he sends chills done the spine.
   Why then do we struggle so with the direct connect button, to God (Jesus), many will read a book on phycology to help understand why we function the way we do, go to a doctor for physical well being, consult the stars for some cosmic revelation, even invent a false god to worship, for comfort?
    Is the truth, what we are searching for, or just another comparison, in Galatians 5:19-21 living that will condemn men is given for evidence, in verses 22-24 how to know you belong to God is revealed, with closure?
    Now we may honestly compare, do I belong to God or not? Yes, you do, however the evidence is clear, if you live one way you will not enter heaven, if you live His way, eternity is sure!
Heavenly Father let the truth find its way into our hearts, may we consider your truth above all else. Help us to seek You with all our hearts, may we search with a passion, let us knock with desire to know You and You alone. Amen
