Make a HABIT of HAVING no HABITS 

2 PETER 1:8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

Make a HABIT of HAVING no HABITS When we begin to form a habit we are conscious of it. There are times when we are conscious of becoming virtuous and patient and godly, but it is only a phase or a season; if we stop there we will get in the stride of the self righteous. The right thing to do with habits is to lose them in the life of the Lord, until every habit is so practiced that there is no conscious habit at all. No wasted motion. Like a top athlete. Our spiritual life is continually preforming a self analysis because there are some qualities we have not added yet. Ultimately the relationship is to be a completely simple one. 

Make a HABIT of HAVING no HABITS Your god may be your little Christian habit, the habit of prayer at stated times, or the habit of Bible reading. Watch how your Father will upset those times if you begin to worship your habit instead of what the habit symbolizes—I can't do that just now I am praying; it is my hour with God. No, it is your hour with Your habit. There is a quality that is lacking in you. Recognize the defect and then look for the opportunity of exercising yourself along the line of the quality to be added 

Make a HABIT of HAVING no HABITS Love means that there is no habit visible, you HaVE CoME to the place where the habit is lost, and by practice you do the thing unconsciously. If you are consciously holy, there are certain things you imagine you can not do, certain relationships in which you are far from simple; that means there is something to be added. The only supernatural life is the life the Lord Jesus lived, and he was at home with God anywhere. Is there anywhere where you are not at home with God? Let God press through in that particular circumstance until you gain Him, and life becomes the simple life of a child.
