Paraphrased quote from Oswald Chambers: practice kindness until it becomes an unconcious part of your life, love becomes so interwoven and unconcious, un-self concious meaning your focus is on Christ and His Spirit within you.
Love becomes so interwoven in your character that when the lord asks you about it in that day, you wonder, Lord when did i do that?
visiting people in prison, giving people food, praying for people -did i do that? Wasn't just Your love flowing through me, wasn't that your voice telling me to do that, whispering to my heart to pray?
It was so unconcious so natural, it just flowed and now you are going to reward me? awesome!! Not calculatively looking for a reward just being full of His Spirit.
A chronicle of desert wandering. Psalm 119:19 I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me. Psalm 39:12 For I am your guest--a traveler passing through, as my ancestors were before me. Psalm 25:4 Make me to know your ways, O LORD; teach me your paths.

Quotes on Sanctification
Sanctification is that inward spiritual work which the Lord Jesus Christ works in a man by the Holy Ghost, when He calls him to be a true believer. He not only washes him from his sins in His own blood, but He also separates him from his natural love of sin and the world, puts a new principle in his heart, and makes him practically godly in life.
J. C. Ryle, Holiness: Its Nature, Hindrances, Difficulties, and Roots (Chicago: Moody, 2010), 19.
Sanctification is the moment by moment subordination of the mind, the affections, and the will, to the rule of the Holy Spirit. Not in the energy of the flesh are these things done, but in the power of the indwelling Spirit himself. To watch unto prayer, to hide God’s word in your heart, to resist the devil, to make no provision for the lusts of the flesh, to follow holiness-to do these things is to ‘walk after the Spirit. ‘So shall the righteousness of the law . . . be fulfilled in us.’
Ernest F. Kevan, “The Saving Work of the Holy Spirit,” Daily Thoughts from Keswick: A Year’s Daily Readings, ed. Herbert F. Stevenson (London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1980), 192.
