Taste the apple.


Practice grace, kindness, love, being just, practice the things of God. Practice them every day that you can. Know them inside out. learn how they feel and become them. Swim in them, experience them. We must continue to grow. We must not stop. We must continue to mature while not getting old at the same time. We need to learn all of these things on an experiential level. To know what they would feel like to the touch, to be able to recognize them from sight, to feel them as they occur. If we do not do these things then we miss out on so much of God. We do not get to know Him as intimately as we could. If I could tell you what particles go together to make an apple. Even tell you that the apple is sweet and crunchy, while remaining a medium density, that when you bite into it the juices might run down your chin in a sticky sweetness. If I’ve never had an apple I would miss out on so much more of what the apple is. Knowledge is wonderful, it’s beautiful. It dances around us and gives us substance while at the same time providing us information for dreams. But experience puts color into the dream. It enriches it like knowledge cant. Practice these things with all of your heart.

know what it’s like to show mercy
let yourself receive mercy
know what it’s like to give grace
let yourself receive the grace of others
know what it’s like to love
let yourself be loved

Understand that God is all these things. Grow to know God more and more.
