Galatians 5:17
My flesh wants to stay inside, all day...everyday
Well, maybe go out for an occasional breath of fresh air
But then again, I can open a window for that and if I position it just right, the sun has permission to rest on my skin
My flesh wants to eat all of my favorite foods, drink lots of coffee-with cream and a really cold pepsi here and there
My flesh is completely comfortable wrapped in pjs's, glued in front of the tv watching every episode of The Golden Girls and then any show about law enforcement
My flesh can read the bible...any version and then alternate between devotionals, write in my journals, pen poetry and never tire
My flesh can lazily throw items of clothing about in every single room and step over shoes as I walk about the house
My flesh can sleep in, nap throughout the day and then stay up till 3:00 am as if it's perfectly normal
My flesh can text, send out e-mails, update my blog and linger on Facebook without any human contact whatsoever
My thoughts....let's not even go there----->yuckie...
My flesh is consistent...wicked and selfish
However, my spirit is quite the opposite
My spirit longs to go deeper with You, in daily need of constant replenishing
My spirit has a heart for the weary, wanting to share my hope in Your return
My spirit cares deeply for the elderly, knowing that You've entrusted them to me
My spirit wants to bless the unfortunate, because I'm compelled to pay it forward
My spirit prays for marriages, the three strand cord not easily broken
My spirit serves with enthusiasm, like an eight-year old unable to sit still
My spirit boasts of Your goodness, all day long to anyone's who'll listen
My spirit delights in fellowship, an answer to my childhood abandonment
My spirit lives to worship You, arms raised and palms extended heaven bound
My spirit sings praises loudly... passionately, tearfully, repeatedly
My spirit is content in the waiting, having all that I never knew I wanted
My spirit ever so confident that I am Your heart's desire and I could never disappoint You
My spirit is humble, I truly adore You
