Having good character is an asset everyone should be out to get. We all have goals and desires that can't always be met. Material gain and ambition, don't necessarily represent, the fruit of the spirit. Which consist of Love, peace, joy, faith, wisdom and strength, that comes from a higher power. The one and only omnipotent.
Eternal attributes are everlasting and there for the asking. No one can take it away. No matter how good or bad, the day may seem. Our source is the King of kings.
Though we may sometimes lack in material things. We have equipment that's heaven sent.
Our fruitful spirit gives us all we need, to take us to a higher standard of living, with a heart of compassion. Where our main focus is not on what we're receiving, but on what we're giving.
Our whole perspective is changed because we no longer care so much for the things of this world. But, we aim to pursue a higher goal, that's out of this world. We reach to taste a piece of what's sweeter than sweet. The unmistakable flavor we get from the heavenly table, where there's an abundance of treats and all that we need.
You can't have just one. Once you've had some. If your goal is to have it the way it suppose to be done. You got to take it all in. Not once, but over and over again. In this we know, that, we shall over come. Because throughout our labor, there's tasty fruit flavor. Given to us from the Masters table. Because the earth is the Lords and the fullness there of. The kingdom is ours and all we hope for.
Our heavenly father is a consuming fire. The definition of love. As we continue to grow in Christ and our spiritual life. We bare his fruit in all that we say and all that we do.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Galatians 5:22
(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) Ephesians 5:9
For our God is a consuming fire. Hebrews 12: 29
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
John 4: 24
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 1 John 4: 8
(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) Ephesians 5:9

Give what you expect to get
You know it's a good idea, to do others as you would like to be done. It doesn't matter who they are, or where they come from.
Sometimes we treat others in ways that we would not put up with. Because we have a certain standard or a certain expectation of what we are use too and what we expect to get. It's all good. But, if we know we don't like or appreciate something. We should know, that others are just as human as we are; and living in the same world. Thinking of themselves just as worthy, if not even more.
Problem is. We're living in a world where there is a multitude of discriminative attitudes. From racism to sexism. The color of your skin in some cases makes all the difference. If you're a man or a woman, rich or poor, healthy or with some sort of disability.
Many treat others with far less respect than they expect to get. As though they have the right. When you deal with people like this. It seems like you're always in a mental fight. Maintaining self respect and dignity becomes priceless. Because of ideas of supremacy some think their discriminative attitude has given them a license.
They treat you less than the rest because they truly believe they are better and know what's best.
But we are not of this class or list. That is; if you're seeking a higher kingdom than this.
In Christ we have new life. There's a wrong and there is a right.
Picture yourself in someone else’s light or darkest night. What would you hope; the other person would do, when all of a sudden it's you? Do you want someone talking to you, the way you do? Do you want someone touching you in places you rather not be? Or taking things away, you love and truly need?
The opposite side of the tracks may be a place, you really can't deal with or even like. Let alone stay. So keep in mind. As long as you're living. There may come a time. When you may experience life, inside someone else’s mine. Or, who knows? You may one day give birth to the same kind.
You may be given another chance to do it all over again. A whole new life where you're the sacrifice and you could really use that character. If for mere laughter, or nothing more than a friend.
At this point. You will know the difference, in what is right or wrong. You will know what is, or is not of Love.
Therefore give all of which you; yourself hope for. Nothing less, though maybe more. From this day forth and as long as you live. At least give, what you expect to receive.
Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. Matthew 7: 12
And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. Luke 6: 31
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. Galatians 5: 25

A State that Matter
We're living in a world where, many have an expectation of survival that comes straight from a lier. We don't need all that we think we need. We all tend to believe stuff that ain't even true. Simply allowing ourselves to be deceived. This too is a trick of the enemy.
Sometimes we think a certain person, place or thing is all we need. And once we have that we'll be so pleased. But in reality, we don't always know what we need. In the Word of God, there is instruction and wisdom on how to live. What to keep and what to give. There is definition of our very existence. If we care to obtain eternal life. We shall live.
These are the matters of who and what we are. The outer appearance is only a carrying case we reside in, while in this place. It's the covering shell we wear to go here or there. But we are spiritual beings made by and from a spiritual God. We should be controlling that outer part and focusing on the heart. Than helping others that may be lost, to find that state of being in which we suppose to live. There are fifty two states in the united states, and even more to choose from. Choosing a state that matter is much wiser. Despite where you go, or where you are. You won't get very far. Unless you examine your heart. Accept Jesus Christ, study the Word. Let go and let God.
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:2
Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? 2 Corinthians 13: 5
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise. Proverbs 11:30
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15

Sow With Reaping In Mind
You know sometimes people can do things that are clearly not right. In communities, schools, medical facilities, protest, and sometimes our very own justice system. While victims are screaming "is anybody listening? We view reports from the media, websites and all that to shed some light. There are many who are convicted or punished for something they didn't do. Than there are others who get away with things, some who may have caused pain to me or you. The case is closed, over, done, through. While others suffer and loose because of someone Else's negligence, mistakes or what they alone did do.
That's the way of the world. It causes lots of heartache and sometimes death. But in Christ. That case has not been closed. He has the keys to every door. And regardless of who you are. you shall reap what you sow. This is not a thing of the past. What's done in the dark will come out in the light. Truth always make things right.
I can say this because I've lived long enough to see it happen. People may think they've gotten away with this or that. But it's not over yet. There is a consequence waiting for all the deceit. Because there is a maker each and everyone shall meet. And through the circumstances we face. When we take a good look back we know just how we got to this place. In God there is a hiding place. In God there is a resting place. But the seeds we sow, will eventually grow. What came from you is not hidden from you. The result is something you will know. So if you've been mistreated, done wrong or deceived. God has a way of bringing relief and setting the captives free. At the same time, those who've done this or that and think they got it like that, are in for a rude awakening. Because they will replace everything they've taken. They will go through, the way in which the Lord will choose. Keep in mind, who is the keeper of time. The enemy comes to kill, steal and destroy. Don't allow yourself become one of his mischievous toys. Because the end result will be yours. Vengeance is mind saith the Lord.
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Romans 9:12
Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you. Hosea 10:12
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Galatians 6:7
For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. Galatians 6:8
That's the way of the world. It causes lots of heartache and sometimes death. But in Christ. That case has not been closed. He has the keys to every door.

My Source
Jesus Christ is an unchanging source. Without whom I would have no life. I would have no purpose, and I would have no voice. He never leaves, and continues to keep me. Despite myself or anyone else. He's there when I feel, I have nothing left.
In the midst of confusion. When I think I'm losing. He up rises within me and supplies my need. When, it may simply be a way; in which I ought to be. Up lifts my spirit, when I don’t even know; that I need it.
Maybe just an increase of faith, to help me make it through the day. Whatever the case. There is no better place I'd rather stay; than in his presence. Where there's stretched out arms to carry me on.
My God, has overcome this world. He's an unchanging source. When I can no longer handle, this worlds evil and wicked noise. He's right there providing an open door. A fresh anointing as I rise in the morning. The living Word of Truth that helps me keep on going. Using the quiet stillness he places inside of me. When there seems to be no exit or room for peace. My source is sure, and keeps me from being lost, within this world. He provides and takes care of my spirit and soul. He feeds me the food, I need the most. He surrounds me with love from the heavenly host. He's the answer I have when I don't know what to ask, or what to speak. He deals with situations, when I have no clue as to what to do. He's my refuge and strength. My hiding place, when I need to get out of the way. Someone once said don't magnify the problem, but glorify the solution. Jesus Christ is, my hope, my anchor, my conclusion.
My God, my Lord, my Unchanging Source. Has delivered me from the evil and wickedness of this world.
But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. 1 Corinthians 8: 6
And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; Hebrews 5: 9
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. James 1: 17
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. Philippians 4: 8-9
