Read Galatians 5:16-26
God is more concern about our 'being' than 'doing'. The examples given by Paul on both the sinful nature and fruit of the Spirit help us to identify the changes we need to make in our 'being'.
Take for example - hatred. Instead of allowing hatred to grow in us, we can always choose to be patience or kind to our enemies. By being so, we allow God to work in us and make us a better person - someone he wanted us to 'be'.
Dear Father, thank You for showing me ways to change my 'being', to be who You really wanted me to be. Help me to live my life by cultivating the Fruit daily and deny all desires of the sinful nature. In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen.
