It has been my experience that most questions are resolved during our daily devotional practice.
Like the colorful, fall leaves that drift off the trees while the sap runs to the roots, to deepen and strengthen, to harness the life hidden in the roots, so our lives are hidden in Christ.
Good devotional practices help discipline and shape our lives so that we might better express and integrate our spiritual life within.
Buds grow and burst into flowers and leaves, as we begin to grow the fruit of the Spirit, * the character of God in our lives.
As the love, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control are eternally born and grown within our lives, this eternal fruit/character radiates and remains.
In essence, we become as Jesus Is, and apart of who he was, the Theophany in the Garden of Eden, the Tree of Life. Mankind chose the first tree, and our character sprung from the knowledge of good and evil. Now in Jesus, we can choose Him, the Jesse Tree, which our Christmas tree symbolizes. We can choose Jesus, and partake of the Tree of Life, eternal life.
Jesus says it like this: "I Am The Way, The Truth, and The Life," These breakthroughs of eternity are incarnate in Jesus and come from Him who we receive as our Lord and Savior, Jesus our Messiah.
* Note on Holy ie. Holy Spirit: for Holy think Wholeness not performance. The shining, burning wholeness of God. A burning perfection greater than the bigest, brightest star He's made. We receive this wholeness in Jesus and this wholeness is grown with, and worked out into our lives. What does Holiness look like? The face of Jesus.
