Galations 5:13-26

13 For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. 14 For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”15 But if you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another.

16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.17 For the flesh [g]sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you [h]please. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law. 19 Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: [i]immorality, impurity, sensuality,20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, [j]factions, 21 envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 24 Now those who [k]belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also [l]walk by the Spirit. 26 Let us not become boastful, challenging one another, envying one another.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Easy message.  Don’t be selfish.

Make time for God first.  Make time for you family.  Make time for others. Then make time for yourself.  Stop being so selfish and begin being selfless.  I had a good friend, and member of the PAX point out that if he helped do the dishes or laundry at his house, how quick he was to point it out to his wife.  When in reality his wife is the one that does all the laundry and dishes at the house, so why should she be impressed that he helped once.  Even though he was doing an act to try and help someone else, he still wanted his “thanks” or “atta boy” for doing it.

God did not create you to be awesome in your own little world.  He created you to:

  • Have a relationship with him.
  • To spread, multiply, and grow God followers
  • To love one another

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

  1. When life seems so tough, go on. When things go wrong, move on. Bear in mind that God gives you strength to persevere, not to surrender. Take care!
  2. Wake up! Exercise your faith. Do sit-up with prayer. Do push-up to release stress. Go! Jog to the Lord and send the good news! Good morning!
  3. Don’t think too much of the problems in life, they are just test papers given by God to see how much we are learning in His subject called “Life”. If you think you failed, don’t worry because He is always ready to give remedial classes. So, review through prayers and have the perfect score of “Happiness”.
  4. Treat everyone with politeness, even those who are rude to you, not because they are not nice, but because you are nice.
  5. Before you sleep, just gently lay every troubled thought away. Drop your burden and your care in the quiet arms of prayer because God never sleeps. Good night! Sweet dreams.
  6. We are like pencils, the best part in us is inside, we make marks as we touch other’s lives. When we make mistakes, we can erase and we become better as we are sharpened.
  7. Stay humble, be faithful, offer hope, work diligently, fight fairly, live simply, love deeply, and give generously.
  8. Prayer is a perfume to our soul and a fragrance that pleases God. Wear your prayer everyday and let it freshen you anytime, anywhere you go. Have a blessed and sweet-scented day!
  9. The more silently love is expressed, the more it is deeply bound to impress. No wonder God loves us in silence and gives us the miracles of having friends.
  10. Life is a continuous challenge, a constant struggle from womb to tomb. We are not made rich by what is in our pockets, but by what is in our hearts.
  11. The person meant for you is the person who will love you even when there’s no more reason to love you. For in your nothingness, the one meant for you will find what’s lovable in you.
  12. Forget the things that made you sad and remember those that made you glad. Forget the troubles that passed away and remember the blessings that come each day. Good morning!
  13. Have you ever experienced a time in your life when you felt so empty for no reason? Have you ever felt so down but you just can’t tell why? Have you ever felt like the world suddenly spins around you, and you are caught in the middle going nowhere? Weird, isn’t it? But that’s the beauty of being human… it is knowing that there is a purpose for each existence, and whatever that may be, it is also the reason why we still wake up breathing each morning, to discover that missing piece of puzzle that would make our lives complete. Have a nice sleep!
  14. Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it or work around it. Good morning!
  15. Some won’t appreciate what you say or do, but as long as you speak honestly from the heart, you’ll be fine. This is not a perfect world. This is not a perfect life. But life loves the person who dares to live it by being real. Bon Jour!
  16. 18. Sometimes in life, we tend to run so fast that we don’t notice God running with us. We only notice Him when we fall, yet He stops, carries us and says, “Finish the race my child.” Good day!
    MOLESKIN:
    Be great today and inspire someone either through your words and/or actions. Show someone encouragement and be the light. Be thankful for the gifts that you have and don’t even think about (I.E. Gift of moment, breath in our lungs, working arms and legs, functioning brain, etc…
