The Truest Fruit of My Faith

or lack thereof.

When I have fallen

sinned

failed

missed the mark

come up short

been backed into a wall without means of escape

eventually

I come to the place where crying out is almost automatic.

---

What comes out of my mouth in those moments, welling up from the feelings within me, is the truest fruit of my faith

or lack thereof.

---

A component of prayer is that part I produce and understand

but there is more to it than this

or at least there should be.

Running deeper between me and God is a two-way communication where my spirit speaks to God's Spirit and in turn God's Spirit speaks back.

But there is more to it than this.

---

Spiritually

God is moving into my life and His Spirit

the Holy Spirit

is occupying more territory in my thought life

my brain function

as I give Him permission consciously and unconsciously to do so.

In this way I am being transformed over time into his likeness.

...that we may live unto God in the same spirit that we pray unto Him.

William Law
