The skyline is a faint shadow this morning. Lots of gushing rain; love that sound - like washing being done in mass scale with great gusto and energy.
From the sermon yesterday on Galatians 5.16-26. These ('...the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.') are the 'communicable' attributes of God which must not be directly sought (original sin). Desires of the flesh start with desires for a good thing.
Realize that you are loved and cherished by God before you even start. The fallacy is to believe that if I manage the flesh, then I will grow in the Spirit. It is the reverse...
