corrupt

Sometimes do you just feel like laying down in the middle of the sidewalk, giving up on the things you feel you cannot be? Have you ever wondered why you've become the way you are? There are times when you think maybe you are a bad person on the inside. If people really knew you, surely they'd agree. You don't like the looks of you. How can you change it though? It seems you've just "gone bad."

Galatians 6:7-11 (context is circumcision)
7. Do not be deceived, God is not mocked ; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.

8. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

9. Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.
10. So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.
11. See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand.

Look at verse 8. Let's put our efforts into spiritual things, and we will reap the wonder and beauty of spiritual life. Don't forget your core, and I'll try not to forget mine.

PS-Next time you're outside, take a moment and listen to the sound of the dead leaves when the wind makes them scurry across the concrete. God made even the tiniest things so beautiful.
