Reflection

Do not let yourselves be guided by the spirit of self-indulgence. Look at the legacy self-indulgence produces: bad temper. Fighting. Jealousy, cruelty, meanness, revenge, fornication, idolatry and drunkenness. These are ugly things and make life miserable. Rather, let yourself be guided by the Spirit of God. Look at the legacy the Spirit brings: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. These are beautiful things, and make life joyful. They are a foretaste of the joy of heaven. Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on us.
