It’s so easy to read the • Works of the Flesh • of Galatians 5 and only see the “biggies”…but what about the main part of the list?  Idolatry.  Hatred.  Contentions.  Jealousies.  Outbursts of Wrath. (Don’t you love this one…we all know too well the outbursts we have.) Selfish Ambitions.  Dissensions. Ouch and ouch again.  I feel like I’ve been pricked by the spinning wheel of truth.  Idolatry?  Check.  Hatred.  Check.  Contentions and dissensions.  Check check.  Jealousies.  Check.  Selfish ambitions.  Check.  Most definitely check to outbursts of wrath.  Every one of those.  Every one hits my heart like a 2×4.  How blind I have been.

When we face a trial, how about we go to scriptures like this, and really ask ourselves which acts of sin we’re committing.  What are we idolizing?  Are we jealous of somebody?  Do we have contentions and strife with each other, perhaps even hating that…

The True Witness

Author: James George Osayande ‘Hero’

“My message is not my own; it comes from God who sent me. Anyone who wants to do the will of God will know whether my teaching is from God or is merely my own. Those who speak for themselves want glory only for themselves, but a person who seeks to honor the one who sent him speaks truth, not lies. John 7:16-18

In the midst of a system where there is falsehood, black art, selfishness, wickedness, fear, and lies is the order of the day, even inside the Church of Jesus Christ, it is only those who are in God’s will that can know the real truth; Only they can tell what the true doctrine is and only they can tell who the true witness of the truth is.But who is the true witness?

Sometimes we just need a reminder that just because one day or one period in our lives does not seem perfect, it is still usable in God’s plan for our lives. God bless you all!!

Beautiful handmade,
Patchwork Quilts…
Made over time,
and precisely built.

Made with pieces of cloth,
various patterns or lines.
remind me of people’s lives,
representing periods of time.
