Father, you say, "if I remain in You and you in me I will bear much fruit,"
that, "the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,
faithfulness, gentleness and self-control." Galatians 5:22
You also say, "Apart from You I can do nothing." John 15:5
How, Father, do I do this?
"Listen, My Child, and walk close to Me. Love covers a multitude of sins... yours and others, see everything with My eyes of love: every interaction, every moment, every person, every thing you put your hands to. Let My love fill you, frame your perspective, inform your thoughts and actions. Remain in My love and the pain will turn to prayer, the hurt to tears that soften your heart towards others and even the list in your hands will turn to love when you give it to Me. Your list is long because you love much. Love without the list, love from the heart and your actions will follow."
"Be love."
God, let me worship you in spirit and truth this Advent.
Medicine from Sacred Writings:
"He who upholds the world lieth in a manger, and He who careth for all things is a nursling in swaddling bands. The Temple is founded and God dwells therein. And wise men come and straight away worship Him..."
St. John Chrysostom Fourth Century
