Branches of Love // Grace Space // Sharnita Gates

In this hour‑long Grace Space session, Sharnita Gates leads a faith‑based devotional that weaves together a study of Luke 8 (the Parable of the Sower and verses 16‑18), a practical "heart‑check" exercise, and an extended teaching on the biblical command to love God and neighbor. She frames the session as a "gray space" where participants use a "canvas of the heart"—a visual journal of colors, markers, and personal reflections—to record insights, gratitude, and emotional states. The teaching moves from a theological exposition of the seed‑and‑soil metaphor (identifying the four soil types, the role of the devil, and the promise of the Tree of Life) to a step‑by‑step spiritual‑discipline routine: inhaling, exhaling, selective attention, gratitude, feelings‑wheel vocabulary, and meditation on Scripture. Sharnita repeatedly emphasizes the need to be "approved" by God, to stay connected to the "vine" (Christ) as branches of love, and to embody the fruit of the Spirit. The session also includes brief interjections from a co‑host (Speaker B) and concludes with a call to continue the practice, upgrade study materials, and return with Bibles and colors for the next meeting.
Chapters
Blessings everyone and welcome back to The Grace Space. I'm Sharnita. I'm happy to be here today. I'm really proud of everyone as they're coming in to The Grace Space and as we are really studying to show ourselves approved. I really enjoy this study space. where we are really diving into the word of God and really getting the understanding. In all our getting in this study space, in this gray space, we're getting an understanding on what we should be reflecting on, how to reflect. We're also getting an understanding on how we should devote ourselves daily to the word of God, to God, to really be in obedience and not perish for a lack of, of knowledge. And so we're getting that understanding and we're getting that knowledge as we ask God for wisdom. And, and we're doing that not just based off of Proverbs, the wisdom literature, but we're also getting wisdom based off of the word of God and exactly what he said do. And so we know that in this study space, as we continue to go through our reflection, our devotion, and our strategy and approach, every scripture that we're receiving, we know that is useful. And we want to be very resourceful because this— we're tapping into the source. And so what we receive, we want to make sure that we're using it To be trained, to be taught, to change some things, to rebuke some things out of us that we have to release. So this is also a place where we also learn how to let go and also correct some things. You don't correct wrong wrong teaching with wrong teaching. You correct wrong teaching with right teaching. So we're getting the right. We have the right teacher who is teaching us. How to be approved by God. So we are doing the work and studying to show ourselves approved and having an ear to hear what the Lord is saying to each and every one of us. So let's get started. Let's dive into this gray space. And so get your Bibles, get your canvases of your heart, and also get your colors. Why do I feel like I want to upgrade on the colors? Now usually I use like markers, and you know what, I have a whole bag of markers. Next week let's start with some fresh colors, okay? As next week, you guys, We are, um, we're starting a whole nother chapter and book of the Bible to study in. And so we had— we, we started with Matthew, we start, um, we also went to Luke, and we did a little bit about, uh, a little bit from, uh, Mark. And we are resuming back in Mark next week, so I'm excited about That. And now that we have our canvases, and I— these, as you go through your— as you write these things on your heart, if you, if you haven't yet checked out our heart check resource guide, like I said, we are tapping into the source, but we have a heart check resource guide which allows you to go back on the canvases of your heart when you need to, when you're facing different things. to go back and do the same reflection, get the same devotion and the same strategy and approach that God has already spoken, so that when you're in those moments of what you're thinking about, you are— you, you, you, you are resourceful. You have the source. You can tap in and connect back with the source based off of the, the canvas of your heart, the vision that God has planted on your heart. Now, as we go through these grace— go through in here in this grace space, we go through the word. What I receive may not be the understanding that you receive from God, and God has it— has the ability to plant a unique understanding on each and every one of our hearts. And so that is why everyone has their own canvas, and, um, I don't share my canvas. Because my canvas is my understanding. Now here I am, here in this gray space to assist and guide, but I really want you guys, as we go through this gray space, to really write it on the canvas of your heart because we are all at different spaces in our lives. And as we walk with the life, walk with the precious Lamb of God. He, he's, he's, he's allowing and changing each and every one of us differently, incrementally. Some people, you may go from— it may do it quick and fast on some things, but some things he may, may take you slow through. And so get an understanding so that when you get that understanding You be thoroughly equipped for the good work that, that we are being called to do. So let's open up our Bibles. We're going back to Luke, um, Luke 8 today, and we're going to be finishing out Luke 8 on today. So let's open up our Bibles to Luke 8. And I like how we go through and have a brief reflection on what we reflected on yesterday. So I believe we will be going through Colossians pretty soon, and Let me— Okay, so we're at Luke 8 and we stopped at verse 16. Okay, and so let's go through the canvas. I really went in yesterday. Okay. So the message is, it is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, beginning and the end. For the mysteries of the kingdom of God has been given to the disciples. And there's a woman hidden with 3 different meals, and it's the The things that are being kept secret from the foundation of the world has been opened. And that parable is this: that the word of God, the seed, the things that God has spoken that we can hear, and as it— the seed goes, the things that God has spoken and we hear it, it starts by the wayside. And depending on the posture of your heart, And what you hear and understand as you go along the path and the walk with the word of God, that seed that has been planted, the ultimate— when you hear it, you want to believe, and when you believe it, you'll be saved. And you want to receive the fullness of the word, and that's the harvest. And that actually helps you to end the, the world, having to deal with the world. But, and you end up with the word and be chosen, and you're with walking with a tree of life. You're staying within the tree of life, which is honest and good, and you keep it and you bring it, uh, bring forth with patience. So you keep that seed and you bring it with patience onto the soil to the tree of life. Now There are some, as it starts, by the wayside, and they hear it and they see. Although that they're seeing, they're, you know, they don't see. Although that they hear, they don't understand. So then therefore the devil is— because you start off being bold and you start off with love and joy, um, but the devil is sitting right there Waiting for you to devour you, devour that seed that was planted. So then therefore, although that you receive it with joy, there's no root. And then when there's no root and but you have joy, you are led into temptation, and that is of this world, the temptations of this world. And as you continue to hear, go forth, and you go forth, and now you're on some areas where it's dry and you start to hit that rock. Um, and but you're— that seed, that word of God, you're not able to produce any fruit or bring any fruit to perfection because as you're going forth there, the cares and the riches and the pleasures of this life, uh, cause you to fall away in this world. So now you're facing temptation, the cares and riches and pleasures of this life. So you're unable to bring that seed to perfection, although that you're still going forth and you're still walking with the word of God, with the seed. The seed has still been planted. And then you get to a place when things are, are, are choked out. So now you're, you're facing the fire, the, uh, second death, um, which, which causes that seed to be damaged. But then Jesus so loves us that he chose us That, that we were able to face the second death, go through the fire, and become chosen to get to the Tree of Life. And so that's why you want to continue on that journey of walking and being, uh, walking, walking with Christ, knowing that he is the vine, we are the branches. If we remain in him and he remains in the— in us, We will bear much fruit, but apart from him we can do nothing. So you want to stay connected to the seed, which is the word of God, which is Jesus, which is the precious Lamb that has been given to us by the Almighty God, our Lord, our Father, the farmer and the husbandman. So we, we thank him for that. We, we give him all the glory. This is, uh, eternal glory. that we're giving. Because the devil is cowardly, he's unbelieving, he's vile, he's murderous, he's sexually immoral, practice martial, uh, magic arts and idolatry and liars. So it comes against that. You, when you're trying to— when you hear, you believe, you're walking in boldness, you're loving, you're— you have joy, you have that peace, you have that patience, you have the gentleness, the faithfulness, the, um, and the self-control. But all the while, the devil is full of cow— um, cowardness. He's unbelieving. So he's coming at you with those things. So do not be, um, unaware of Satan's devices. So that is what we discovered in Luke 8:10-16. And Now, so talking about the kingdom of God, the kingdom of heaven, and the, the earth. Now we're going to go into a lot more with talking about the earth because I could continue to study a little bit more and there was some revelation. So in all, in part of the, the heart check, where there's no revelation, people cast off restraint. Like, how much can you restrain? Um, and I wanna— let me go to the heart check because I really want you guys to really check out the heart check and understand how to apply the heart check.
Let's see.
We'll go through it. So the, the heart— the heart check is where we dive into understanding our hearts. Take a moment to inhale and reflect on Proverbs 28:18-19. Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint. But blessed is the one who heeds wisdom instructions. And that's Proverbs 29:18. A servant cannot be corrected by mere words. Though he understands, he will not respond. And that's Proverbs 29:19. Now let's verbalize our thoughts. What's on your mind? Focus on selective attention and what we've accepted in our mind. Express your feelings. And use language to describe them. Let's practice gratitude by thinking about what we're grateful for. Reflect on scripture and how God makes you feel. Take five minutes to thank God for His blessings. Remember to exhale and put everything into practice. Speak to God, hear God, and obey God. So that's that's if you if you we say if He has an ear, let Him hear. That is for anyone who has a, you know, verbally, and you're processing the information. That is for you. If you are, if you want a little bit more of a narrative to the, the heart check, it is where we explore the unseen spirit through stories and reflections. Let's journey through Proverbs 29:18-19. Take your time to reflect on what you've heard, what resonates with you. Let's quickly meditate on our thoughts and feelings. Pause to consider what you're grateful for and how God makes you feel. Reflect on scripture and quietly thank God for his blessings. Take a moment to exhale and externalize everything.
Um, hold on a sec.
We'll go through them a little bit more. This is the gray space, but, um, but do the heart check. Check out our heart check, um, and we'll go through— I'll go through the heart check, just the guide. Um, that way. And I want us to really reflect on that today, um, even on today for our Canvas of the Heart. As we come in next week, I want us to check our heart, and that's checking the understanding that is in your heart. Where are you locating yourself? Now first, it starts with the vision of the unseen spirit. You know, in the beginning when the Lord God, he breathed breath into the nostrils of man, that's the unseen spirit we have to receive. So inhale. How many, how many people actually say, let me inhale, let me Let me be thankful that I have breath now and be able to inhale. I, I told y'all it was a point in time when I did not yawn, and now that I've started to inhale, I yawn. And so when I yawn, you guys know that I'm just inhaling. I'm operate. You guys let me know if you guys yawn when you actually take a moment to really inhale. Okay, now I, I'm really refreshed. I slept really, really good, so it's not that I'm tired. It's just that I actually have a chance to really inhale, and that's the— now I'm not seeing with these, I'm seeing with this, my heart. So if people can't see what God is doing, they stumble all over themselves. But when they attend to what he revealed, they are most blessed. It takes more than talk to keep workers in line. Mere words go in one ear and out the other. So it takes more. It takes us to be able to inhale and actually go through the part where we're checking our heart, what's in our heart. So we have to be honest, not only just with ourselves, we have to be honest with God. He already knows. So he already knows what's on your mind, but do you? This is where we're checking our heart. Do you know what's on your mind? And focus is selective attention. So what are you, uh, um, selecting to pay attention with your mind? Focus. Focus is a, is, is a source of currency. Are you— what are you paying in focus? And that's your selective attention. So what have you, uh, selected to accept in your mind? Where are you currently now? And you want to say it, you want to believe it. Like I said, when we're walking on the path, uh, that we got the seed, when you hear the word of God, you want to be bold and you want to start to produce those fruits of his Spirit. So love, joy, peace, patience, faithfulness, kindness, self-control, you know, self-control, and but believe. So say it, believe it, and then receive it and meditate on it. Like, even if it's something that you need to replace, you have to— okay, so you meditate on the word. We delight in the words of God, and the words of God is the entire Bible. Now you have the Word of God who actually, um, speaks. That's Christ, and he's also a— he has things that he has spoken, and that's the secrets of the mysteries of the kingdom of God. And so coming into that, that revelation, that's why I said where, where people— where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint. So then we're going through that path of where facing temptation, facing the cares and the riches of this world, um, but in— but we want to stay where our posture is, where we believe. We want to believe, so we have to say it, we have to believe it, we have to receive it, and we have to meditate on it. Now, what are you feeling? What are you feeling? And sometimes we don't have language for it, so there's this feelings wheel that allows you to put language to it. So if you are, um, feeling jealous, if you're feeling, um, intrigued, if you're feeling withdrawn, if you're feeling alone, if you're feeling, you know, powerful, if you're feeling optimistic, if you're feeling bored or indifferent or um, submissive, you know, based off of, you know, fear. So, you know, the fear of God— where some— even when you're submitting to God, you can— he did not give you that spirit of fear but of power. So to be able to be submissive, um, and to be significant. So sometimes being under that, we can feel insignificant, but to feel significant We'll feel empowered, we'll be proactive, courageous. So do everything in love. So now you have a little bit of a language to say, okay, let me get my feelings in order. You know, if I'm feeling this way, God, if I'm feeling angry, you said be angry but sin not. So now I know that sin is just crouching near the door. And if you're angered, so put it, filter it through the word. We need a filter. And the word of God is a great filter. It's the best filter to filter these feelings through. So that's why we want to do our heart check, because if you— where else will you filter your feelings if you don't have language for it and you don't— you don't— you're not going to the word of God? Um, so we get to also practice gratitude. Let's check, what are you grateful for? Are you grateful for even just that breath? That you just inhaled? Are you even grateful that you have language for your feelings? Are you grateful that you're here in the grace space, that you're studying to be, uh, be approved unto God, and that you're not taking the things for granted? And so you want to think on that for at least 5 minutes. Think on how grateful things— he said Philippians 4:8, think on whatever is true, whatever is lovely, whatever is reputable, whatever is of a good report. Think on those things. So this is a practice where we get to actually sit and actually think on the goodness of God as we continue to believe. And then also some self-care. What scriptures come to mind? Are you able to remember the scriptures? Um, how does God make you feel? Um, because then you can go back to the feelings wheel and say, okay, I was feeling submissive, but that fear, you know, it was making me feel inadequate. But right now I feel powerful. I feel, I feel equipped. I feel encouraged. I feel bold. I feel courageous. And be able to, you know, now you're— if you're thankful for what God has done, you can think on that for a whole nother 5 minutes. So you can— then you'll be able to exhale. Exhale, and you see I didn't yawn. And that's the that's the benefit of the heart check. You start to inhale. You at one point you may think, yo, I'm I'm I'm feeling tired. But when you get to it, you like wow, I'm feeling powerful. I'm feeling courageous. I'm feeling bold. I believe the word of God. I need, I need, you know, I need more. So he has— he that— he has—
who—
he who thirsts and hungers after righteousness, for they shall be filled. So we're talking about being the full— Jesus fulfilled the full fulfillment of the law. So therefore, full of love, joy, peace, patience. You're going to get— start to get to inhale the breath of life and exhale the goodness thereof, the fullness thereof. Um, and so you get to speak to God, you get to hear God, you— and you get to obey God. And he's our eternally unseen spirit. So that's the— that's the heart check. So if you guys would like that guide, um, definitely check us out, and I'll put it into the Put the link. I'll share the link and really connect with with God. This is this is a resource for you. And so now we went over Luke eight ten through sixteen. We can actually start back with verse seventeen and eighteen. I want to go through, uh, 16. We're going to start at 16 today because I don't believe I have this one written on the canvas of my heart. Um, no man— let's start with that— no man, when he have lighted a candle Okay. No, no man lights a candle, cover it with a vessel. Or cover or put it under a bed so it doesn't hide it. Especially if it's lighted. But set it on a candlestick. That they which enter may see the light. Okay, so no man lights a candle And he does not cover it with a vessel or hides it under the bed, but sets upon a candlestick, and they that enter sees the light. For nothing is secret. That shall not be made manifest.
Amen.
Neither anything that's hidden. No, it says neither anything hid. Because if you think about it, if you light a candle If you light a candle and you hide it under your bed, your bed gonna burn. It's not gonna be hidden, so it can't be. So neither anything hid. It's be— it's made known. And come aboard. So take heed, therefore hear how ye hear. Oh, that's good. This is going to be our, our weekend scripture. Take heed how ye hear, for whoever hath, to him shall be given. And whoever has not from. Him shall be taken, even that which he seemeth to have. So you really need to take care of how you hear, because even when we was talking about the starting off and you have a seed of the word and you hear it and you— it's been— it's, it's You—it's been given to you, and you don't stay with the light, and you try to hide it. It's one of those things, you know, really understanding hiding. Can't hide anything. Can't hide anything. So neither anything hid; it will be made known and come abroad. That shall not be made manifest. It's no secret. It's, it's on a— when you, when you're walking with the seed, walking with the word of, um, word of God, the light is, is— you're sitting up on a candlestick. You're like the light that's sitting up on the candlestick. Jesus is sitting up on the candlestick and it can't be hidden. Um, so for whoever has to him shall be given. For whoever has not and had an ear to hear, from him shall be taken even that what he seemeth to have. So even what you've heard, you— it still can be taken. That's, that's the whole point of the parable of the sower. If you have the word of God Keep the word of God, knowing— take heed, knowing that you've been given the word of God. You need to hold on to it because even that, it can be taken away because you still have the things that comes along the journey that devours that— the word of God from you. You still have the dry ground where Although that you're going forth, you're going to face temptation. You're going to face the cares and the riches of this world. You're going to face the things of this world, but you want to stay with believing. Like when you get the word of God, this he said: Take heed how you hear. You want to hear. Be bold. Be courageous. Do everything in love. That starts out and you believe that God is love. You want to stay with the word. God is word. Believe the word love. Then joy, not as the world gives it, but the joy in the Lord. You're staying with the joy in the Lord. You want to stay with the kindness, the gentleness, the faithfulness. It's full of faith. It's full of faith. So faithfulness, gentleness, self-control, taking that time out to really study to show yourself approved. Stay on that path. Don't try to take the word of God and go down the path where the devil is sitting right there, or where you're going to face— it's easier so you, you know, won't have to face that second death. Um, but just be chosen to breathe and eat from the tree of life. That's why, you know, I was— we'll get into them a little bit more, but the restoration Of the Garden of Eden, how to get there. And that's the Tree of Life. And really cutting off the, the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, like the— that water that flows there, I don't want to flow that way. We want to flow, um, the process. So our reflection today is on the process of staying with the word. God— you— God has spoken the word. We hear it, we grab that seed, we grab the word of God, and then we believe. We be bold, we be courageous, we do everything in love. Let's start with love. Love is patient, love is kind, it does not boast, it does not take records of wrong, it does not envy, it is patient in affliction. So remembering those things, this is the way that we want to walk. We want to hear, we want to hear these things. And this is the things that, you know, we have to speak to. We have to speak, speak the truth in love. The truth in love is love is patient. You don't have to be patient. You're going to have some affliction, but you're going to be patient in that affliction. And so just reflecting on the love of God, let's, let's, I want to kind of go through Um, just the love of God. Let's, let's just reflect on that as we hear more of the word. And, and it's been given, so we're lighting a candle for love. Let's light the candle of the love of God today. Let's really, really fulfill that on today. Um, let's see. Okay, so first, what to love. Love. Oh, that's so good. That is so good, y'all. This is so good. What to love. Let's start off with. We said think about whatever is true, whatever is lovely, whatever is reputable, whatever is praiseworthy. We're going to think on the love of God today. So I'm starting a whole another canvas, y'all. We got another twenty minutes. This is about to be full of love, love, love, love. The word that comes and goes. But few people really knows what it means to really love somebody. Because so we're gonna go into love today, okay? Okay, okay. I'm y'all feeling the love today. I'm feeling the love today, okay? So first, what we're going to be thinking about today Love, the love of God. And we start— we actually touched on the love of God when we said God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son. And now we've been talking and walking with Jesus in the love of God, and we received Christ into our hearts, and we have been walking with, with God in his love. As he was the farmer, he has planted planet that seed of love. Let's be bold, let's be courageous, and do everything in love, knowing that God is love. So we're staying connected to the farmer. We're connected to the farmer, look, and we are staying connected to the vine. So we are in the shelter of the Most High God, and we will abide by— in the shadow of the Almighty. Jesus are the precious Lamb of God, and as we stay connected to the vine, we know that we are the branches. So we are branches of love. Oh, that's what we're gonna call it— branches of love. Okay, we are branches of love. Okay, so first, we're— today we're going to be thinking about So now we've identified what we're going to be thinking about is the love of God. And when we're thinking about the love of God, of course I just went through the whole farmer, you know, God so loved the world. So now we, our minds are set to receive, receive the seed of love. Let's receive the Think about the, and then receive, receive the seed of love. Receive the seed of love. We're gonna receive the seed of love. Okay? And now that we are thinking of our hearts in our mind to understand. So now um. Understanding what love is. So our goal is to understand love. And so we're now our we're going to receive the instructions from God. I don't know if I don't know about y'all, but I'm.
Feeling the love, huh?
What to love. Now, what to love. When we talk about what to love, he said love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your mind, all your strength. So what we need to love— look, love our God. Love our God. What to love? Everything about our God. I guess it's like who to love first. I'm gonna start with who. So who to love? We're loving God. What to love? The Lord our God and the Lamb. I love Jesus. I love Jesus. So who to— so who to love? We're loving the Lord God. Let me look up the scripture. I have all those scriptures. It's like 200— well, 686 scriptures of love. Um. I like to really get the scripture, and that's why I'm like, I really want to upgrade this Bible, um, with— so if I'm looking like for the level, so, um, Matthew 22:37. We're not too far from it. Matthew 22:37. 21. We might have to go back to the, uh, the parable of the husbandman. That's Matthew 21:33. I'mma, I'mma write that one down. I'll, I'll read it. Hear another parable. There were a certain householder which planted a vineyard and hedged it around about and digged a winepress in it and built a tower and let it out to the, uh, let out 2 husbandmen And went into a far country. And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it. And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. Again he sent other servants more than the first, and they did unto them likewise. But last of all he sent unto them his son, Saying, they will reverence my son. But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, this is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and let us seize on this inheritance. And they caught him and cast him out of the vineyard and slew him. When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? They say unto him, he will miserably destroy those wicked men and will let let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits of their season. Jesus said unto them, did ye never read in the scriptures the stone which the builders rejected? The same is become the head of the corner. This is the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes. Therefore say I unto you, the kingdom of God shall be taken from you and given to the nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. And whoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken, but whoever— whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. Oh, I really want. And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parable, they perceived that he spake of them. But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude because they took him for a prophet. That's good. I was just, um, okay, so Matthew 22:37. That's— we can go back and read Matthew. We'll, we'll dive into Matthew 22— I mean 21:33, what we just read. That was 33 through 46. So we're going to Matthew 22:37.
Okay, 22:37.
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God. So who to love? The Lord thy God. And what to love? The Lord thy God. Well, maybe how to love. So we we're receiving the instructions. Lord, who to love? The Lord thy God. How to love? Love the Lord thy God with. All thy heart. And with all thy soul. And then with all thy mind.
Heart, soul, am I.
Your strength is in your soul, in your mind too. So this is the first and great commandment, and the second is like unto that: thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. So who, how, what? To love your neighbor as thyself. Okay, so now we go from who, how, to what. So we're talking about love today, and so now we understanding love. We receive the instructions. Now we have the instructions. When you receive the instructions, you want to act quickly. So now let's define love. So, well, define love, and then we have the requirements of love. So if I speak in the tongues of men or of angels but do not have love— so this is the requirement to be— even if, even if you do speak in tongues, even if you have the gift of prophecy and you have faith that can move mountains, even if you give what you have to the poor but you do not have love, You don't meet the requirement of love, and that is first Corinthians thirteen. So now we know the requirements. The requirements to do anything is to have love. So is it requirements or prerequisites? Let me see. I'll say. We'll say the definition is the requirements, and then the I want to say expectations. Do not awaken love before its time. Because if you speak in tongues but you don't have love, and you awaken love and you don't have the fullness thereof of love, yeah.
I want to say, you know, as far as— I'm sorry.
Okay, this is, this is good. I'm gonna keep, I'm gonna keep going. But so today we reflected on how we, we have to take heed On what we, we just heard. Really take heed on what you just heard and reflect and reflect on it, that it has been given to you and you want to, you want to keep it. So in order to keep it, be bold, be courageous, and do everything in love. Continue to, um, take heed of and remember that Believe, believe, believe what you have heard God said and receive the salvation, the fullness of the Tree of Life. Stay within the Tree of Life, um, and stay with the word and not be in the world. We described how in the world you will have trouble. And that's where things can be devoured. That seed will be devoured. And then you face the second, the second death of where all those things have to be burned out of you and to be chosen by Christ to receive and enter the Tree of Life. So take heed that it has been given to you. Keep it and devote yourself to keeping the word of God, staying with the word of God. Be in the word of God. Abide in him as he abide in you, and bear much fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, faithfulness, kindness, and self-control. Bear that fruit. Bear the fruit that you're continuing to do the good work and stay connected and That's our strategy and approach, is to stay connected and to do things in love. We have to really know what love is, the love, and receive the love of God. And here, as we— if you have an ear, hear what God is speaking. God has spoken a lot and is useful for our training. So let's be trained, um, and let's Continue to do the good work and be approved unto God, and don't get weary in well doing. This is well doing.
