Right? If you just ask, and then I think it's asking the Lord God. like, show me your truth. Show me who you are.

Show me the truth about myself, and that's a hard prayer to pray, but, you know, in the circles that we run in, we're seeing a lot of people come to Christ in the community that we live right here, and we also see a lot of people who come and are curious, and they're like, man, I really love the spirit of your church, and man, this is, and they're attracted to, like, I would call it the vibe or just the energy in the room and the

relationships. And it's really what they're attracted to is the fruit of the Spirit. But sometimes it's like when you get into a deeper conversation, like, man, they're not saying this, but I'm interpreting it as we really want the fruit of the Spirit. Is there any way we can get that without the Spirit? You're like, no. We really love the kingdom of Christ. And man, it's beautiful.

Can we have that without the King? And you're like, No, it's his kingdom. And I think that's really what the first sin in the garden was. We really like this fruit that you provided for us to receive and enjoy as a gift and communion with you as we partake in it. Is there any way we can just have it away from you?

And the Lord's like, no, you can't have the fruit away from me because the fruit grows on a tree that's in a garden that's watered by the water that flows from myself, like at the tree of life.
