Living by the Spirit of God

Human nature is weak and is more bent towards sin.
Sin will continue to dominate our flesh, as long as we are inclined to live by our natural inclinations¹.
When we choose to live by the Spirit², the Spirit inclines our heart towards the love of God— to live humbly and obediently, in the reverence of God.
Consequently, wicked nature begins to subside— when God's presence is enthroned in our heart.
Sin no longer continues to tyrannize our flesh, when Faith and Love begins to live in our life.

1. Natural inclinations are inclined towards fulfilling selfish and disordered desires of the flesh.
Natural inclinations follow human principles and is opposed to God's  Commandment of Love.  Natural inclinations burden  and attack our soul— with sin.

2. To commit our daily life to Prayer; to Faith ( be calm and believe that God is always with us ); to Reverence (doing our daily work, to the best of our ability, as done for God); to loving and understanding others; Spiritual reading (reading Holy Bible and lives of Saints); to Charity and to deeds of Mercy— as much as opportunities and circumstances allow. Frequently receiving Holy Sacraments viz. Holy Eucharist and Confession. Fasting (when inspired by God ) in the honour of God. Doing little sacrifices— abstaining from certain habits and activities that do not lead us towards God.

Remember, God loves a cheerful giver— so do everything cheerfully, without reluctance or under compulsion.

Healing

Where there is Love and Charity¹ — there is healing².
Where there is Forgiveness and Mercy— there is healing.
Where there is Faith and Hope— there is healing.
Where there is Repentance and amendment of life— there is healing.
Where there is Gratefulness to God— there is healing.

1. Almsgiving and helping the needy.

2. God's healing and saving Grace flows into our heart and our life, to heal us and restore us— in HIM.

Love

Only, Love¹ more— and sin no more.

1. Love, that brings Peace; Trust and Joy.
Love, that respects God.
Love, that respects human dignity.
Love, that helps one to grow into children of God.

Anything that is against the path of Love, is the covetous desire, that masquerades as "True Love"— only to harm and ruin relationship.

Priority of our life

Everything suffers, when we live according to our priorities¹— rather than the priorities of God.
Our priorities affect the quality of life that we live and the relationship that we share.

No matter what your profession is; no matter what the state of your life is; no matter what your agenda for your life is— let God be the first priority of your life.
Doing things according to God's priority will bring order and Peace to our life.
God's priority and God's most Holy will for our life is— living according to the Commandment of Love— being Loving and Forgiving; being Patient and Understanding.

Good relationship is the key ingredient of our life.
God's priority grants us the Grace to live our life worthily (in the honour of God) and enables us to handle every relationship.
With God's priority, we can live any² kind of life and traverse through any circumstances— with Peace in our heart.

1. Our priorities are for our own selfish needs. Our priorities are egocentric— which may disagree with other person's priority. Conversely, God's priorities are for the common good of all.

2. Single; married or consecrated life.

Faith and unbelief

To live¹ with God, is Faith.
To live without God, is a sin².

1. To live according to God's Commandments.

2. Our unbelief ignores and detests God.
Our unbelief directly opposes and defies God.
Our unbelief estranges us from God.
Our unbelief refuses God's Loving Mercy and Kindness.
Our unbelief hurts God more than any other sins.

Touch of Love

If Love¹ is the receptionist of our heart, then every moment will be handled wisely and every heart will be touched by God's Grace— for God works through Love.

1. Love that reveres God and obeys God’s Commandments.

Faith

Our Faith in God always begins on a crutch.
A crutch— a strong supporting Faith, that has been passed down to us, through the Holy lives of Faithful Christians.

We hold on to it; we believe in it; we live and grow upon it.
Then eventually by God's Grace, we ourselves become the beacon— the "light of Christ",  that would continue to be passed down to future generations— as a living testimony of our Faith.

It is then, that we'll express the words (of our Faith) that resounds in the Holy Scripture :
"We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world." [John 4:42]

Every Christian who is determined to be a Faithful Christian, follows the same path, until he himself becomes the "light of Christ".
