Black Page White Words

I closed my eyes and I saw the Word opened up on a black page with white words. Line by line they stood out in capital letters glowing off of the page. The words of life, God’s Words of truth stood out to me. He let me see that sin is dark, but the light is pure, and that light is in His Son, our Savior, the King of Kings, and the Lord of lords, the brightest morning star, the lily of the valley, our Master forever.

when the book is closed and things becomes dark, sin creeps in to try to destroy the light that shines in the darkness of our souls. Open the book; the Book of Life, Liberty, and Freedom in God with the love of Jesus which lasts forever.

When there is not any light shining in your heart, how deep is the darkness that you are walking in? When you cannot see the light, how blind is you? Black book, black pages, white words, do you know them, do you know Him? Do you know His kingdom will never end? Do you know He was here before this world began?

Darkness is the sin in the world, and the black book is the world coming to an end. The white individual letters are those who sacrificed their lives becoming martyrs because of the Word of God, and because of who they believed in. The final book was closed, life on earth ended, but life in heaven began.

To live again for all eternity with our best friend who sticks closer than a brother. To live again and walk the streets paved with gold, to sit at the welcome table and tell Him of all of our troubles, no more tears to shed, only smiles and laughter forever more.

My Reward for Burning the Most Calories in One Day!

I set a new personal record for most calories burned in a day.

I am so proud of myself for reaching my first goal in starting my new journey to living a healthy lifestyle. This is only the beginning, there are many more days like this to come for me. I know I can do this. I will be back to my normal weight in no time at all. I will not give up on myself. I will not let myself go. I will remain positive in this journey. Some days will be hard, but I will fight through it. Temptations may come, but I will remain strong. I want to be around for a long time so, my journey starts here. I will finish strong.

Flesh vs. Spirit

In Galatians 5:16–25, Paul contrasts the works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit. He does so in order to encourage the churches in Galatia to “walk in the Spirit.” The basis of his appeal is the new life they have in Christ by the Spirit (v. 25). They are freed from the law and are now led by the Spirit (v. 18). The flesh, its “passions and desires,” died with Christ on the cross (v. 24). Let’s contrast these two ways of living with some help from the Believer’s Bible Commentary by William MacDonald.

The Works of the Flesh

Adultery is unfaithfulness in the marriage relationship.
Fornication is unlawful sexual intercourse.
Uncleanness is moral evil, sensuality.
Lewdness is shameless conduct involving absence of restraint.
Idolatry is not only the worship of idols, but also the immorality that accompanies demon worship.
Sorcery is witchcraft, the Greek word being related to drugs (pharmakeia). Since sorcery included the use of drugs, the word came to mean intercourse with evil spirits, or the use of magic spells. It may also include superstitions, “bad luck,” and so on.
Hatred means strong feelings of malice directed toward individuals.
Contentions are discord, variance, quarrels.
Jealousies are distrust, suspicions.
Wrath is outbursts of hot anger or passions.
Selfish ambition is the self-centered strivings to be “number one,” even at others’ expense.
Dissensions are separations over disagreements.
Heresies are sects men form with self-willed opinions.
Envy is displeasure at the success or prosperity of others.
Murders are unlawful killing of others.
Drunkenness refers to intoxication caused by strong drink.
Revelries are riotous gatherings for entertainment, accompanied by drunkenness.
Paul follows up this list with the solemn warning that “those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God” (v. 21). The life characterized by the works of the flesh is contrary to the Christian and incompatible with God’s kingdom.

The Fruit of the Spirit

Love is what God is, and what we ought to be. It is beautifully described in 1 Corinthians 13, and told out in all its fullness at the cross of Calvary.
Joy is contentment and satisfaction with God and with His dealings. Christ displayed it in John 4:34.
Peace could include the peace of God as well as harmonious relations among Christians. For peace in the life of the Redeemer, see Luke 8:22–25.
Longsuffering is patience in afflictions, annoyances, and persecutions. Its supreme example is found in Luke 23:34.
Kindness is gentleness, perhaps best explained in the attitude of the Lord toward little children (Mark 10:14).
Goodness is kindness shown to others. To see goodness in action, we have but to read Luke 10:30–35.
Faithfulness may mean trust in God, confidence in our fellow Christians, fidelity, or reliability. This latter is probably the meaning here.
Gentleness is taking the lowly place as Jesus did when He washed His disciples’ feet (John 13:1–17).
Self-control means literally holding oneself in, especially regarding sex. Our lives should be disciplined. Lust, passions, appetites, and temper should be ruled. We should practice moderation.
The items of this list are all of the same kind, the fruit produced by the Spirit in the life of the one in Christ. When this fruit grows in a believer’s life, a truly magnificent picture begins to develop.

One Final Thought

“In newspaper English the passage reads something like this: the fruit of the Spirit is an affectionate, lovable disposition. It is a radiant spirit and a cheerful temper; a tranquil mind and a quiet manner. The fruit of the Spirit creates a forbearing patience in provoking circumstances and with trying people. It also instills a sympathetic insight and tactful helpfulness; generous judgment and a big-souled charity. Where the Spirit is active, loyalty and reliableness are present under all circumstances. The Spirit produces humility that forgets self in the joy of others. In all things the Christian is self-mastered and self-controlled, which is the final mark of perfection. How striking this is in relation to 1 Cor. 13!” – Samuel Chadwick
