Walk By The Spirit

“Walk  by the Spirit and You will not gratify the desires of the flesh”
Galatians 5:16

Have you ever been so into something…
You know, like being lost in the melody of a favorite song.
Or mesmerized by the flames of a dancing fire.
Maybe for you it was the beauty of a glorious starlit night.
Or the sense of awe and wonder that comes from being
“in the zone” doing what most brings your heart to life!
You do know what I mean, don’t you?
Labors of Love. Yes. I know you’ve been there.

Remember what it was like.
Immersion. Losing all track of time.
All struggle and strife seeming to just fade away.

And the work… The work of your “Labor of Love”…
Well, it wasn’t work at all.
I wonder if this might not be what it’s truly like to
“Walk by the Spirit”.

Yes. To be so in tune…
So in the flow of what God is doing…
So caught up in the joy of Life… The Joy of His Life.
His Life being expressed through us, even as us.
So that all the rest, well…
All the rest, is simply lost in the joy.

Father. Lord Jesus. Holy Spirit… Take us there.
Take us to that place of fullness, in You.
Help us experience what its like to live Your Life…
Even as we live the lives You’ve given us.
Amen.
